Book Overview
Read and find out about what archaeologists are looking for, how they find it, and what their finds reveal in this colorfully illustrated nonfiction picture book.
Archaeologists on a dig work very much like detectives at a crime scene. Every chipped rock, charred seed, or fossilized bone could be a clue to how people lived in the past.
In this information-packed Let's-Read-and-Find-Out Science book, Kate Duke offers an explanation of the basics of archaeology and everything you need to know to go on a dig.
