I dette nummeret

Learn about an ancient African kingdom that thrived at the center of a great maritime trading network. Travel to the Persian capital of Persepolis, where Achaemenid rulers expressed their ambitions for a prosperous, multicultural empire through the city’s grand buildings. Step inside the richly furnished grave of a powerful Celtic woman in France. And journey with us to Patagonia, where hunter-gatherers adapted to some of the world’s most volatile environments over the course of 13,000 years. In these stories—and so many more—this issue of ARCHAEOLOGY brings the past to life.
