Congratulations to Dr. Ann Stahl on her new book
Congratulations to Dr. Ann Stahl on her new book "Why it matters: Archaeology"
"Celebrated archaeologist Ann Stahl provides the perfect summary of why archaeology is both a vital and exciting subject to study. As she explains, archaeology is unique in its focus on the everyday lives of all peoples in all places and times, piecing together unknown worlds that would otherwise be lost. This knowledge matters because it shows us how everyday actions have worked in concert with environment, politics and culture to transform societies – and perhaps what the future holds for our societies too.
Using compelling examples from a storied career conducting research in North America and Africa, Stahl makes clear why the distant past unearthed by archaeology remains crucial for us today." by Polity Books
