Thanks to everyone for the suggestions in this thread. Although I have a personal interest in archaeology, I don't consider myself to be a scholar by any means and I haven't kept abreast of current research.

However, I have a mini-list which might have some interesting / useful titles (I don't think they have already been mentioned):

Chadwick, John. The decipherment of Linear B. 2nd ed. Cambridge University Press, 2014. (Originally published in 1958)

Coe, Michael D. Breaking the Maya code. 3rd ed. Thames & Hudson, 2012.

Stephens, John Lloyd. Incidents of travel in Yucatan. Vol. 1 and Vol. 2.
[1848]
(Available via Project Gutenberg)

Robinson, Andrew. Cracking the Egyptian code : the revolutionary life of Jean-Francois Champollion. Oxford University Press, 2012.

MacKendrick, Paul. The Greek stones speak : the story of archaeology in Greek lands. 2nd ed., rev. and enl. W. W. Norton, 1983.
[paper only] (Originally published 1966 [?])

Schliemann, Heinrich. Troy and its remains. 1875.
(Available via Project Gutenberg)

Johnson, Marilyn. Lives in ruins : archaeologists and the seductive lure of human rubble. 1st ed. Harper, 2014.
