Description
The first edition ofWorld Prehistory and Archaeologyis the first Canadian text in Archaeology. Michael Chazan (University of Toronto) is an expert in the field, and brings a unique and dynamic point of view to the study of introductory archaeology. Howwe know the past is inseparable fromwhatwe know of the past, which is why Chazan's text is based on an integration of archaeological method with the story of human prehistory. The text presents an integrated picture of prehistory as an active process of discovery; methodological issues are not relegated to the opening chapters alone. This provides students the tools to understand how the current understanding of human prehistory evolved. Chazan brings students to the cutting edge of archaeological research by presenting the most recent discoveries and theoretical perspectives.
