- Charles Leonard Woolley was born in the London borough of Hackney. He was educated at St. John's School and Oxford University, where he decided to become an archeologist. In 1905, he became assistant keeper (curator) of the Ashmolean Museum at Oxford. He began his archeological career the following year. Woolley's pioneering discoveries and scholarship became the basis of our modern understanding of Mesopotamian civilization, and made him world-famous. In 1930, he published Ur of the Chaldees, which became the best-selling book on an archaeological subject. He was knighted in 1935.

Diggging up the past
This is a short introduction to Archaeology, explaining its purpose, cultural importance, method, and an idea of the difficulties involved and the ingenuity required for success. A good deal of the excitement of archaeology is communicated, not only from the discovery of artefacts but also in terms of the insights gained into the lives and culture of people across society in civilisations that have long ceased to exist.
Leonard Woolley was one of the major archaeologists of the early 20th century, and has plenty of first hand tales from his digs to illustrate the points made in the book. In addition to this, there are also about 30 pages of photos and drawings.
This is a well written and easy to read volume that could easily be finished in an afternoon. For anyone without expert knowledge of the topic it is a great introduction that pre-empts many of the questions that might be otherwise have been asked. As well as making me want to read more accounts of achaeological discovery, it also gave me an interest in the field work aspect that the author explains here.… (mehr)

Very interesting, readable look into archaeology in the early 20th century. I usually steer clear of archaeology and history books that weren't more recently published because so much changes in terms of how different fields approach their work, but it's an interesting venture in terms of historiography and was a fun read.
A nice little book. The illustrations show some of my favourite objects in the British Museum: The Ram in the Thicket, The Game Boards and the Standard of Ur.
The short section on royal burial sacrificial was particularly interesting.
