The book explores both the city-state of Sparta and the territory of Lakonia which it unified and exploited. Combining the more traditional written sources with archaeological and environmental perspectives, its coverage extends from the apogee of Mycenaean culture, to Sparta's crucial defeat at the battle of Mantinea in 362 BC.

Excerpt from Ceramic Stratigraphy at Cerro De Las Mesas Veracruz, Mexico The prevailing local land-form is that of the potreros or cienegas, to use the local terms, low areas that ﬂood in the wet season,1 forming nearly impassable and completely uninhabitable swamps. The remainder of the year they dry out, providing rich pasture lands for the modern inhabitants. The entire structure is built-up swamp that once ﬂanked a wider bay. Here and there are elevated areas, for the most part sandy, rising islandlike (in the wet season this is not a simile, but a reality) above the plain. T...

Scientists have long known that the popular image of the Neanderthal as a primitive, hairy, heavily browed, club-wielding brute is not supported by the fossil evidence. But to date, no such consensus has existed on the riddle of Neanderthals' disappearance. The Last Neanderthal, written by one of the most respected authorities he subject and supported by a dazzling wealth of material, paints the first full portrait of the most familiar and haunting of human relatives. Drawing on the latest findings and sophisticated new techniques of analysis, Ian Tattersall marshals the best available evidenc...
