Tables and maps are simplified and easier to use. All of the key methods boxes from the previous edition have been consolidated into the Introduction and now offer an up-front primer of archaeological methods and practices. Each chapter begins with a newly designed, easier-to-use timeline, and features boxes on key sites, key discoveries, key controversies and, as above, key themes. Revisions take into account the latest sites and discoveries, including Homo naledi and the new LiDAR surveys of Angkor Wat. There is increased coverage of the Americas, with a brand-new chapter, The Origins and Dispersal of the First Americans. The text has been streamlined and the book s design completely revamped: it is now in full colour throughout, with more than 50% more colour images than the previous edition. This edition has been radically updated to be more thematic and accessible: chapters are connected by new key themes boxes (climate change, domestication, migration, social inequality and urbanism), which link global regions and encourage big-picture thinking.
