Buried beneath us : discovering the ancient cities of the Americas
(Book)

Includes bibliographical references and index.

Thousands of years before Europeans first colonized North America, other cities were here. They grew up, flourished and eventually disappeared in the same places that modern cities would later appear. You will find the astonishing story of how they grew from small settlements to booming city centers--and then crumbled into ruins.

An illustrated examination of the forces that help cities grow and eventually cause their destruction is told through the histories of ancient American civilizations, documenting the rise and fall of booming cultures that once thrived on the sites of well-known modern cities.
