Explains at the outset what archaeology is: no mere treasure hunt, but an attempt to explore the pre-history of humanity. The author describes how a 'dig' is organized, on lines as carefully planned as a military campaign. One of the most absorbing sections of his exposition deals with the exact science of 'grave-digging' in the royal cemeteries of antiquity. No less revealing to the general reader is his explanation of how the finds are analyzed and tested before they are admitted as links in the chain of human history.
