Into the dark The warship was old. A giant. 7 miles long. 5 wide. The most powerful warship humanity had ever designed. Now it was abandoned. Cold. Dark. A mausoleum. Its crew preferring to die at their posts to capture by the enemy. For decades, it had been left in orbit. No one dared go near it. Stepping aboard was an act of desperation. Russou was dying.

Uncovering the physical remains of our past is a quintessential human itch; the pursuit of every society from the ancients through to today. But the stories behind archaeological exploration and discovery - what we look for when, what we end up finding, and what we then do with it - tell us as much about ourselves today as they do about the past. Through eight sensational stories of discovery, Professor Michael Scott traces the evolution of modern archaeology from colonial expeditions to today's cutting-edge digs, unearthing traps, curses and buried treasure along the way.
