The user-oriented guide introduces the archeological narrative from roughly seven million years ago through subsequent culturally intricate civilizations. Presently revamped in its second edition, Archaeology and Human Saga: An Abbreviated Introduction to Global Prehistoric History does not aim to cover all significant archaeological sites and advancements in prehistory and ancient history. Instead, it addresses fundamental topics from earlier prehistory and arranges the sections on culturally complex civilizations with a comparable structure. This facilitates an easy contrast of various geographical regions by students. Each of these sections also emphasizes a specific exemplar in which related motifs are scrutinized, such as documented language; resource networks, commerce, and interchange; communal existence; ceremonial practices and spirituality; and armed conflict and aggression. Every section comprises numerous sidebar elements, a timeline illustrating the pertinent chronology for that section, and features like “The Big Picture,” “Inhabiting Antiquity,” and “Further Thoughts.”
