Archaeology!

by Hettie L. Ballweber

his book for young readers(ages 9-12) and students (grades 4-6) describes through text and numerous detailed drawings how archaeologists go about collecting information which is later translated into educational and interpretive materials. 

It also discusses why archaeology is important and how the discipline contributes to a better understanding of history and our culture. 

The first half of the book offers an introduction to archaeology and goes into detail about how archaeologists identify and excavate a site as well as interpret the information they collect. The second half of the book contains activities and games designed to explore and reinforce the basic concepts of archaeology. Information is also provided for those interested in further research.
