Contents : Crete - At the center of Crete's rich Bronze Age culture was the palace, which had economic, political and religious functions. Studying those functions makes it possible to reconstruct Minoan society. Petra - Excavations at ancient Petra in the Middle East indicate something of the process by which a nomadic Arabian tribe became settled and Hellenized over a period of centuries. Pompeii - The city which was buried by Vesuvius has been excavated for two centuries. Two thirds of its 165,000 acres have now been cleared, providing a unique view of Roman life in the first century A.D. Teotihuacan - The first and largest city of the pre-Columbian New World arose in the Valley of Mexico during the first millennium A.D. At its height the metropolis covered a larger area than imperial Rome.
