Three Stones Make a Wall: The Story of Archaeology

Eric Cline, professor of classics, anthropology and history, traces the history of archaeology from an amateur pursuit to the cutting-edge science it is today by taking the reader on a tour of major archaeological sites and discoveries, from Pompeii to Petra, Troy to the Terracotta Warriors, and Mycenae to Megiddo and Masada. An introduction to the story of archaeology, the book details the pioneering digs of the 18th century and the exciting new discoveries being made today, as well as the personalities behind the digs.
