Taschenbuch. Condición: Neu. Neuware - A gripping, often irreverent exploration of the past, present, and future of archaeology in America. 'R.E. Burrillo will change what you thought you knew about archaeology, transforming what began as a science focused on division into a communal project of understanding and healing.'--RILEY BLACK, When the Earth Was Green>Archaeology has long captivated the American public, yet pop culture mythology often obscures the harsh realities, thrilling discoveries, and complex moral decisions that archaeologists confront out in the field.

With rollicking storytelling and an insider's expertise, Burrillo challenges us to celebrate curiosity even as we rethink what archaeology is, whom it serves, and what's at stake for our future and our understanding of ourselves as a species.…
