The chapters alternate between museum/university experiences and the author's major research projects. The experiences of working in that part of the world as the Third Balkan War was starting were dramatic. The memoir presents stories with implications for East-West relationships which will soon disappear from living memory. The ways that research projects originated and developed are also strongly featured. There is also a fund of anecdotes about prehistorians living and dead. The publication of this memoir records those fragments of the discipline's history which are in danger of being lost forever. But Chapman's life story is not erased from this account, which is not an anthropological work but, rather, a participant account with a modicum of relevant personal details. This memoir provides the insider story to the research results"--$cProvided by publisher. 606 $aArchaeologists$zGreat Britain$vBiography 606 $aExcavations (Archaeology)$zBalkan Peninsula$vBiography 607 $aBalkan Peninsula$xAntiquties 610 $aArchaeology 610 $aSocial Science 615 0$aArchaeologists 615 0$aExcavations (Archaeology) 676 $a930.1092 700 $aChapman$b John$0488225 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910819113103321 996 $aA Life in Balkan Archaeology$93967466 997 $aUNINA
