Sharman Russell's When The Land Was Young: Reflections On American Archaeology is an extensive history of archaeology in America, written with sharp wit and practiced skill. When The Land Was Young skillfully examines archaeology not just as the hunt for dusty relics, but as the living, changing study of how people and creatures of the past once lived. Highly entertaining, informative and enjoyable reading for archaeology students and non-specialist general readers with an interest in American archaeology.
