When researchers began to investigate further in the early 1980s, the site proved to hold far more. Known as the Hiscock Site, it contained an astonishingly rich trove of fossils and artefacts dating from the late Ice Age through the onset of European settlement. For nearly three decades, work at the site—the \"Byron Dig\"—unearthed new evidence of changing fauna, flora, cultures, and environments over the past 13,000 years.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIn \u003cem\u003eTwo Acres of Time\u003c\/em\u003e, Richard S. Laub—the principal investigator of the project—tells the story of the Byron Dig. Recounting twenty-nine years of intensive excavation involving more than a thousand participants, he provides a comprehensive account of a working palaeontological and archaeological field project and its contributions to our knowledge of the past. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eLaub explores how understanding of the site evolved through the years, the surprises that came to light along the way, and how contributions from numerous researchers helped achieve a fuller picture of the significance of the findings. The book also shows how people from all walks of life—not only scientists but also volunteers and local small-town residents—worked together to unearth and interpret the site's contents and to preserve them for future generations.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThis extensively illustrated book connects life at a scientific excavation project to the grand sweep of long-ago epochs and is a compelling read and resource for researchers and general readers alike.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Unknown","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47000831197420,"sku":"9780231206723","price":66.99,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/8123933482270.jpg?v=1763308591"}],"url":"https:\/\/bookhero.co.nz\/collections\/richard-s-laub.oembed","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
