Discovering World Prehistory introduces the general field of archaeology and highlights for students the difference between obtaining data (basic archaeology) and interpreting those data into a prehistory, a coherent model of the past. The opening section of the book covers the history, methods, and techniques of archaeology to provide a detailed examination of archaeological investigation. It highlights the excitement of archaeological discovery and how archaeologists analyze and interpret evidence. The second half covers global prehistory and shows how archaeological data is interpreted through theoretical frameworks to create a picture of the past. Starting with human evolution, chapters detail the key stages, from around the world, of prehistory, finishing with the transition to post-prehistoric societies. Including chapter overviews, highlight boxes, chapter summaries, key concepts, and suggested reading, Discovering World Prehistory is designed to support introductory courses in archaeology and allows students to experience both methods and interpretation, offering a perfect introduction to the discipline.

Exploring World Prehistory is a well-rounded collection of classic and contemporary case studies that illustrate the range of archaeological methods, theory, and perspectives used in prehistoric archaeology. The reader is organized into four sections. The first presents varied approaches to archaeology. The second provides perspectives on food production. Section Three explores Old World prehistory, while Section Four focuses on New World prehistory. Specific topics include lithics and landscape archaeology, indigenous accounts of the rise of agriculture, the social role of wine in Minoan and Mycenaean society, and ballgames in Mesoamerican ritual economies. The readings demonstrate how archaeology can be used to better understand our world's prehistory. They show how archaeological theory and methodology are used to analyze specific sites around the world. Selections have been chosen to reflect recent trends and significant themes in contemporary archaeology. Exploring World Prehistory is particularly well-suited to introductory courses in archaeology, prehistory, and ancient world cultures. It is also a useful supplemental reader for advanced courses in archaeological theory and methodology.

People of the Earth is a narrative account of the prehistory of humankind from our origins over 6 million years ago to the first pre-industrial states, beginning about 5,000 years ago. This is a global prehistory, which covers prehistoric times in every corner of the world in a jargon-free style for newcomers to archaeology. Many world histories begin with the first pre-industrial states. This book starts at the beginning of human history and summarizes the latest research into such major topics as human origins, the emergence and spread of modern humans, the first farming, and the origins of civilization. People of the Earth is unique in its even balance of the human past, its readily accessible style, and its flowing narrative that carries the reader through the long sweep of our past. The book is highly illustrated and features boxes and sidebars describing key dating methods and important archaeological sites. This classic world prehistory sets the standard for books on the subject and is the most widely used such textbook in the world. It is aimed at introductory students in archaeology and anthropology taking survey courses on the prehistoric past, as well as more advanced readers. It will also appeal to students of human responses to climatic and environmental change.
