An entertaining and informative book about archaeology, particularly as it relates to Georgia. Begins with an introduction to the field of archaeology, including its connection to other sciences, siting logistics, and dating specifications. Then highlights the major periods of Georgia's Native American cultures, describing significant archaeological finds. Next takes readers on an armchair archaeological dig to excavate a 16th-century Indian settlement-from establishing the site to writing the final report. Also provides a variety of basic archaeology project ideas. New printing retains the integrity of original 1979 publication, with attractive hand-lettered text and vivid, often humorous, color illustrations.
