'Doorways' Leads Into
The World Of The Past

NORMA GOLDMAN

Special to The Jewish News

Walk through Stephen Bert-
man's "Doorways" into the
romantic world of archaeology!
You will never be the -same.
Bertman, resident of West
Bloomfield, popular teacher
and respected scholar at the
University of Windsor, gives us
Doorways through Time (St.
Martin's Press) subtitled, "The
Romance of Archaeology,"
delightful excursions into many
worlds of ancient history reveal-
ed by trowel and space and
recreated by the vivid imagina-
tion of the learned author.
In 26 chapters of exploration,
Bertman will guide you
through varied sites, from
prehistoric caves in France to
Colonial Jamestown in
America. Between these
disparate adventures are
chapters highlighting ar-
chaeological discovery in
Sumer, Egypt, the Indus Valley,
Crete, Troy, Greece, Etruria,
Israel, Pompeii, Rome, Den-
mark, England, China, Easter
Island, South and Mid-
America. Chapters of special
Jewish interest include those
on Masada, the Dead Sea
Scrolls, and on the wider world
of biblical history.
Bertman begins these
dramatic reconstructions of
past civilizations with a
graphic explanation of how
layers of history (strata) ac-
cumulate on a site to form the
"readable" record for the ar-
chaeologist. He concludes with
a quotation from Shelley's
Ozymandias reflecting on how

all civilizations decay, but he
adds an Epilogue with a more
cheerful, philosophic note from
the preacher of Ecclesiastes,
Kohelet, who reminds the
reader of the resolution of the
opposites of birth and decay, the
seeds of one in the nature of the
other.
Cyrus H. Gordon writes a
glowing foreword, handsomely

Norma Goldman, an avid ar-
chaeologist, teaches in the Greek
and Latin department at Wayne
State University.

praising the scholarship in this
ambitious work which covers so
many varied sites, and to
realize that scholarship is a full
bibliography at the end of the
book giving further readings
for each archaeological site
recreated in the book.
Stephen Bertman, professor of
classical and modern
languages, literatures and
civilizations at the University
of Windsor, Ontario, is fluent in
many languages, among them
Greek, Latin, and Hebrew, and
he is conversant with many
cultures of the world. An alum-
nus of Brandeis and New York
University, Bertman received
his doctorate at Columbia
University, pursuing interests
in Near Eastern, Judaic and
classical studies. His previous
books include Art and the
Romans, and he is editor of The
Conflict of Generations in An-
cient Greece and Rome.
He has made history and ar-
chaeology a vivid experience for
countless students in his ex-
citing courses in Windsor and
in the Detroit area. Wherever
he lectures, his students are en-
thusiastic about his ability to
make the past come alive.
It is precisely this skill of
peopling the past that makes
Doorways such a successful in-
troduction to archaeology. In
many of the episodes Bertman
conjures up real or imaginary
persons living at the precise
moment in history when some
dramatic event is to occur — the
entombment of the handmaids
of the queen at Sumer, Helen
awaiting the Greek fleet at
Troy, the prostitute advertising
wares just before the eruption
of Mt. Vesuvius, Eleazar ben-
Yair just before the destruction
of Masada, King Arthur at
Camelot. Bertman recreates
the moment and the character,
adding the story of ar-
chaeological investigation at
each site and how we know to-
day what happened so long ago.
• Introducing each chapter is
an arresting photograph of a
person or place connected with
the site. Concluding each
chapter is a reflection on the
final demise and decay of the
