De Maigret, Alessandro. Stacey International 2002 384 pages $45.00 Hardcover DS247 Since 1970, De Maigret has been the director of the Italian archaeological mission ISMEO in Yemen, helping reconstruct the prehistory prehistory, period of human evolution before writing was invented and records kept. The term was coined by Daniel Wilson in 1851. It is followed by protohistory, the period for which we have some records but must still rely largely on archaeological evidence to and pre-Islamic history of that country. His synthesis of findings, Arabia Felix--un Viaggo nell'Archaeologia dello Yemen, was published by Rusconi Libri s.r.l. in 1996, and translated into English that same year by Rebecca Thompson. Though more information has come to light since then, the original text was thought worth reprinting without change.
