But in exchange for these flaws, you get a vivid sense of the curmudgeonly antiquarian-author's character, up to and including his radical pessimism about the future of the human race. The afterword is an object lesson in scholarly caution: It candidly lists all the things the original 1963 text and captions got wrong. keine Rezensionen | Rezension hinzufügen
"Long out of print, this highly acclaimed book is available again with a new Preface and Afterword for a new generation of readers. Published in 1963 when historical archaeology was in its infancy, Here Lies Virginia details the archaeology and excavation of Roanoke Island, Jamestown, Williamsburg, and Yorktown, Virginia. Combining artifacts and written records, Ivor Noel Hume provides an intimate portrait of colonial life." "In his new Afterword, Noel Hume discusses the changes that have taken place in the field of historical archaeology since the book was first published thirty years ago. He uncovers both the advantages and the shortcomings of computer technology in archaeology as well as problems caused by the separation of artifact studies from archaeological site interpretation." "This first paperback edition will bring back into print a treasury of the archaeological history of Virginia."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc.
