X Marks the Spot: An Adventurous History of Archaeology

A thrilling and adventurous new history of discovery that takes us on a global tour of the most fascinating archaeological finds of all time.

Uncovering the physical remains of our past is a quintessential human itch; the pursuit of every society from the ancients through to today. But the stories behind archaeological exploration and discovery – what we look for when, what we end up finding, and what we then do with it – tell us as much about ourselves today as they do about the past.
