Travels with an archaeologist : finding a sense of place
Abstract
"A memoir of travels by an eminent archaeologist and historian"--. Provided by publisher. "'You must be very patient, ' most everyone asserts admiringly on encountering an archaeologist. Patience in the pursuit of history instantly earns consideration. Patience to sift through the soil to discover treasure, from gold to unidentifiable knick-knacks--an educated beachcomber.
[...]
But, patience does not come into it so much as the chemistry of experiences from being in the company of others as the five senses are provoked and satisfied by the buried unexpected. Archaeology is about hearing, seeing, smelling, tasting and touching past textures in our time. With these senses, in the company of friends, new places are created from old ones. Travel with archaeologist and writer Richard Hodges as he explores sites across the globe and ponders the relationship of the individual with the past and the present of the past in its ruins, monuments and hidden traces of long-distant worlds and civilisations"--.
