A landmark reference work in the field of human prehistory, The Cambridge Encyclopedia of Archaeology presents a sweeping and authoritative survey of the archaeological record — from the earliest stone tools to the dawn of recorded civilisation. Edited by Andrew Sherratt of the Ashmolean Museum, University of Oxford, and graced with a foreword by Professor Grahame Clark, Master of Peterhouse, Cambridge, this encyclopaedia marshals contributions from a distinguished international advisory board to deliver a comprehensive, richly illustrated account of humanity's deep past across every inhabited continent. Structured to serve both the specialist and the intellectually curious general reader, the volume chronicles key developments in archaeological theory and method alongside detailed regional surveys, illustrating how material culture illuminates the societies that produced it. Sherratt's editorial vision unifies a vast body of scholarship into a coherent and accessible whole, establishing this work as an indispensable cornerstone of the discipline. Whether you are tracing the origins of agriculture, the rise of early urbanism, or the spread of prehistoric trade networks, this encyclopaedia leaves you with the unsettling sense that the deeper you dig into the past, the more questions rise to the surface.
