Overview

English summary: As long as archaeology has been examining the traces of past civilisations in a systematic way, it has also, time and again, bred personalities made prominent by their finds as well as their characters. This volume contains 46 exciting and informative biographies. Many of these people were extraordinary individuals: Poets and artists, educated daughters and bluestockings, stubborn men and eccentric codgers. Andrea Rottloff provides a knowledgeable as well as entertaining overview of life and work of 46 of the most important archaeologists. Besides well-known names such as Schliemann, Winckelmann, or Gertrude Bell, we find those today almost forgotten ones such as Gerhard Bersu or the Duchess of Mecklenburg-Schwerin. And did you know that the author of crime fiction, Agatha Christie, was also a passionate archaeologist? German text. German description: Seit die Archaologie die Zeugnisse vergangener Kulturen systematisch untersucht, hat sie immer wieder Personlichkeiten hervorgebracht, die sich durch Funde und ihre Personlichkeit hervortaten.

Andrea Rottloff gibt einen ebenso fachkundigen wie unterhaltsamen Uberblick ueber Leben und Wirken der 46 bedeutendsten Archaologinnen und Archaologen.
