Book Overview

An intriguing look at the archaeology of an imaginary city, from ancient to modern times, featuring fascinating cross-sections Peter Kent's brilliant cross-sections show how an early settlement changes into a bustling, modern-day city. The lively and friendly illustrations are packed with absorbing and eye-opening details, and clearly show how new buildings are constructed on the rubble of the old. Eagle-eyed readers will have hours of fun spotting the descendants of one particular family though the centuries, and seeing how once-grand building become buried and how some structures remain through the centuries. The book reveals the prehistoric origins of the settlement, its 21st-century development and even give a glimpse into the far future, when ice sheets threaten to overwhelm the city.
