«Un libro affascinante. Un compendio delle più famose conquiste archeologiche e al contempo un'analisi sottile di come la “scoperta” si sia evoluta.» Greg Jenner, storica e autrice del podcast You’re Dead to Me «Michael Scott ci racconta la storia dell'archeologia stessa. Un'indagine appassionante sull’ossessione dell’umanità per i resti fisici del proprio passato.» Suzannah Lipscomb, storica e conduttrice televisiva britannica «Se amate Indiana Jones, questo è il vostro libro.» Dan Snow, storico e conduttore televisivo britannico Non esiste civiltà o comunità umana che non sia stata affascinata dalle vestigia dei propri predecessori. Ci siamo sempre relazionati con il passato: è il canovaccio da cui prende le mosse lo spettacolo della nostra vita, senza cui ci sentiamo smarriti. Attraverso il racconto di otto sensazionali scoperte, Michael Scott ripercorre la storia dell’archeologia moderna – dalle spedizioni coloniali agli scavi all’avanguardia di oggi – portando alla luce trappole, maledizioni e tesori sepolti lungo il percorso. Scopriamo perché periodi e luoghi diversi hanno catturato la nostra attenzione e la nostra immaginazione fino all’ossessione. Incontriamo i personaggi, alcuni celebri e altri dimenticati, al centro dei più famosi e avventurosi ritrovamenti – come la stele di Rosetta, i guerrieri di terracotta, Machu Picchu. Indaghiamo su antiche e misteriose impronte umane, su catastrofici naufragi, su mitiche principesse e su sorprendenti e dimenticati rituali come chiavi di accesso alle meraviglie delle civiltà del passato. Per toccare con mano come le grandi scoperte archeologiche non coinvolgano soltanto grandi dosi di coraggio, determinazione e preparazione, ma anche pressioni geopolitiche, conoscenza locale, scelte etiche discutibili e tanta, tanta fortuna! Abbracciando in un solo sguardo milioni di anni e una miriade di paesaggi, dalle giungle del Sud America agli altipiani ghiacciati dell’Asia centrale, Scott rivela quanto la scoperta del passato sia sempre intrecciata con la storia del nostro presente e perché, come dice Indiana Jones, la X non indica mai il punto dove scavare.

««Un libro che si legge tutto d’un fiato, audace e fantasioso e che sfida le idee sul mondo dell’antichità». » Peter Frankopan, autore di Le vie della seta. Una nuova storia del mondo «Questo libro vivido e coinvolgente porta in vita alcuni dei momenti più importanti della storia antica, momenti che hanno dato forma non solo alla politica e alla cultura di epoche passate, ma anche alle istituzioni, alle idee e alle fantasie del nostro tempo. » Yuval Noah Harari, autore di Sapiens. Da animali a dèi. Breve storia dell’umanità e Homo deus. Breve storia del futuro ««Un contributo pionieristico per la capacità di leggere il mondo antico nel suo complesso, in uno sguardo che abbraccia la Cina e l’India quanto la Grecia e la Roma antica. E per di più, è una gioia da leggere!» » Ian Morris, Stanford University «Un contributo pionieristico per la capacità di leggere il mondo antico nel suo complesso, in uno sguardo che abbraccia la Cina e l’India quanto la Grecia e la Roma antica. E per di più, è una gioia da leggere! » Ian Morris, Stanford University ««Questo libro vivido e coinvolgente porta in vita alcuni dei momenti più importanti della storia antica, momenti che hanno dato forma non solo alla politica e alla cultura di epoche passate, ma anche alle istituzioni, alle idee e alle fantasie del nostro tempo». » Yuval Noah Harari, autore di Sapiens. Da animali a dèi. Breve storia dell’umanità e Homo deus. Breve storia del futuro Viviamo in un mondo globalizzato e interconnesso. Eppure, paradossalmente, preferiamo scrivere e leggere la nostra storia come se si fosse svolta in blocchi isolati e impermeabili. E se invece provassimo a raccontare una storia più ampia, che non sia quella di un monolitico «mondo antico», ma di tanti, diversi mondi antichi in stretta relazione uno con l’altro? Michael Scott cerca di abbattere gli steccati disciplinari che hanno finora costretto lo studio della storia, fornendo una prospettiva interconnessa attraverso il racconto di tre momenti chiave del passato: la politica, la religione e la guerra, tutti fattori che hanno contribuito a creare il mondo antico dal Mediterraneo alla Cina. Mondi antichi è un importante lavoro di storia globale, un viaggio coinvolgente che sfida il nostro modo di pensare il passato e ridisegna la mappa dell’età classica per rivelare le sue connessioni nascoste, e ci mostra come la storia antica possa ancora

“A gorgeously written book whose literary chops are beyond doubt. Come for the prose, and stay for the murders.” — USA Today “This is beach reading that’s as intelligent as it is absorbing.”— People A gripping novel of culture clash and murder from the acclaimed author of A Beautiful Crime and The Destroyers. As summer draws to a close, a small Long Island town is gripped by a series of mysterious deaths—and one young man, a loner taken in by a local, tries to piece together the crimes before his own time runs out. Orient is an isolated town on the north fork of Long Island, its future as a historic village newly threatened by the arrival of wealthy transplants from Manhattan—many of them artists. One late summer morning, the body of a local caretaker is found in the open water; the same day, a monstrous animal corpse is found on the beach, presumed a casualty from a nearby research lab. With rumors flying, eyes turn to Mills Chevern—a tumbleweed orphan newly arrived in town from the west with no ties and a hazy history. As the deaths continue and fear in town escalates, Mills is enlisted by Beth, an Orient native in retreat from Manhattan, to help her uncover the truth. With the clock ticking, Mills and Beth struggle to find answers, faced with a killer they may not be able to outsmart. Rich with character and incident, yet deeply suspenseful, Orient marks the emergence of a novelist of enormous talent.

Emilio Sereni's classic work is now available in an English language edition. History of the Italian Agricultural Landscape is a synthesis of the agricultural history of Italy in its economic, social, and ecological context, from antiquity to the mid-twentieth century. From his perspective in the Italian tradition of cultural Marxism, Sereni guides the reader through the millennial changes that have affected the agriculture and ecology of the regions of Italy, as well as through the successes and failures of farmers and technicians in antiquity, the middle ages, the Renaissance, and the Industrial Revolution. In this sweeping historical survey, he describes attempts by successive generations to adapt Italy's natural environment for the purposes of agriculture and to respond to its changing ecological problems. History of the Italian Agricultural Landscape first appeared in 1961. At the time of its publication it was a pathbreaking work, parallel in its importance for Italy to Marc Bloc's masterwork of 1931, The Original Characteristics of French Rural History. Sereni invented the concept of the historical "agricultural landscape": an interdisciplinary characterization of rural life involving economic and social history, linguistics, archeology, art history, and ecological studies. Originally published in 1997. The Princeton Legacy Library uses the latest print-on-demand technology to again make available previously out-of-print books from the distinguished backlist of Princeton University Press. These editions preserve the original texts of these important books while presenting them in durable paperback and hardcover editions. The goal of the Princeton Legacy Library is to vastly increase access to the rich scholarly heritage found in the thousands of books published by Princeton University Press since its founding in 1905.

No study of the modern exploration of ancient Egypt is complete without the extraordinary work of Giovanni Belzoni. Once a circus strongman, trained as an engineer, he spent many years abroad in Egypt and Nubia studying the ancient ruins and shipping antiquities back to Europe. Though once considered a tomb robber, recent re-evaluations of Belzoni have given him credit for his remarkably keen powers of observation and, for his time, careful excavation methods and recording. A larger-than-life character, Belzoni was a true adventurer-explorer during a time of nationalist competition between the European powers for the best antiquities. This exciting and detailed account of his two journeys to Egypt and Nubia is a treasure of Egyptology. For the first time, this long out-of-print volume is available as an affordable, well-formatted book for e-readers and smartphones.

Il progetto Stari Bar nasce nel quadro di una cooperazione tra le Università di Venezia (Italia), Università di Koper/Capodistria (Slovenia) e le autorità montenegrine (Museo di Bar, Ministero per la Cultura, Sito Archeologico di Bar) e si inserisce all'interno del programma Culture 2000 finanziato dalla Comunità Europea. Il sito di Stari Bar (Antivari) rappresenta indubbiamente un luogo di straordinario interesse archeologico, innanzitutto per il grado di conservazione dei resti materiali. Una città distrutta ed abbandonata durante la guerra per l'indipendenza montenegrina ci restituisce, anche se a livello di rudere, l'immagine di una piccola 'Pompei' medievale. Obiettivo del progetto è lo studio delle fasi cronologiche dell'abitato, in relazione ai diversi gruppi sociali e culturali che vi hanno operato. Nel 2004 un primo studio delle architetture ha permesso di ricavare una valutazione archeologica della risorsa edilizia attraverso un'analisi della conservazione della leggibilità delle strutture della città. La valutazione preliminare sulla qualità dei depositi archeologici non ancora scavati, evidenzia l'eccezionale stato di conservazione delle stratigrafie e dei bacini sepolti, in relazione alle diverse fasi della città: bizantina, serba, veneziana e turca. Un saggio di scavo all'interno della Citadella ha permesso di datare le strutture fortificate di questa area alla fine del XII secolo, costruendo la prima sequenza stratigrafica con cronologie assolute, con interessanti associazioni ceramiche, disponibile per l'intero sito. The project on Stari Bar is part of a cooperation between the University of Venice (Italy), the University of Koper/Capodistria (Slovenia) and the Montenegrin authorities (Museum of Bar, Ministry of Culture, Archaeological site of Bar) and is inserted in a wider framework, of which also the University of Innsbruck is part, funded by the European Union, that aims to study the ways and modalities that qualify the Venetian presence on the eastern coast of the Adriatic sea (Programme Culture 2000, The heritage of Serenissima). In this perspective some case studies have been analyzed (the shipwreck of Gnalic, in Croatia, the late medieval ceramics of some sites of Slovenia (Piran/Pirano, Izola/Isola, Koper/Capodstria) and Croatia (Sv. Ivan pri Umagu/S. Giovanni di Umago, Split/Spalato), and the site of Bar in Montenegro), in order to build autonomous guidelines for research, some of which have already been completed. The site of Stari Bar (Antivari - Old Bar) represents undoubtedly an extraordinarily interesting archaeological site, first of all for the degree of preservation of the material remains. A village destroyed and abandoned during the Montenegrin Independence War gives us a picture, even if in ruins, of a small fossil town: with its streets, its palaces, its houses, its churches and monasteries, its mosques and its baths. A site whose archaeological potential stopped in 1870 AD. Stari Bar has been for a long time among the objects of restoration of the Montenegrin Community. The site has already in fact been restored, consolidated, cleaned, re-fitted in the past, making it partially suitable for visits. In the occasion of these restorations, which respected the monuments and were realized after an attentive work of architectural mapping by a team led by prof. Durde Boskovic after the second world war, many artefacts have been uncovered that allowed to reconstruct the history of the site. Some of these objects (late medieval pottery from three contexts) have been recently studied and published by Mladen Zagarcanin, as part of the present project. The book of the Montenegrin colleague is then the first product of this co-operation born under the sign of the heritage of Serenissima. But the archaeological resource contained in this micro-cosmos is in its greater part unexplored and will then be a success if our presence will be able to increase its knowledge and development. After this first campaign of research we would like to acknowledge many Institutes and people that helped us, encouraged us and supported us in our activity. On the Montenegrin side the Minister of Culture, Mrs. Vesna Kilibarda, the Superintendent of Montenegro Slobodan Mitrovic, the Mayor of Bar, Mrs. Anka Vojvodic, the director of the Centre of Culture of Bar Milun Lutovac, the director of the Museum of Bar Vladislav Kasalica and, of course, our friends Omer Perocevic and Mladen Zagarcanin. On the Italian side the Ministry for Foreign Affair, the Italian consulate of Podgorica and the Veneto Region for the fundings. Sauro Gelichi - Mitja Gustin Venezia - Koper, august 200
