JP Demoule is these scholars who can be exciting, first because passionate, but because they know about their passion with simple words and in a fluid style. If the "first" part of the book looks back at the history of France through the prism of archeology, "second" speaks more difficulties larchéologie, and the archaeologist today. The author shows how we will helps to know our past, not just one part of the writings but also part of the earth. In short, a book that reads quickly and whose only regret we have is to have finished.
