A Collection of Five Vintage Archaeology, History, and Science Hardcover Books - A collection of five vintage hardcover books, primarily focused on ancient history and archaeology, with one early 20th-century scientific text. The lot includes *Tutankhamen* by C. Desroches Noblecourt (1963), *Dawn of the Gods: Minoan and Mycenaean origins of Greece* by Jacquetta Hawkes (1968), *The Neolithic of the Near East* by James Mellaart, and *Gods, Graves, & Scholars: The Story of Archaeology* by C.W. Ceram (a 1964 printing of the 1951 English translation from the 1949 German original *Götter, Gräber und Gelehrte*). The fifth book is *Evolution and Eugenics* (a 1937 impression of a 1921 text), presented as a plain red hardcover without a dust jacket. Four of the books retain their original dust jackets, featuring photographic imagery, stylized gold relief, and vibrant mid-century modern graphic designs with ancient motifs. Constructed with cloth or paper-covered boards and paper pages, the books contain numerous black and white photographs, line drawings, and maps.
