Every archeological find adds to our understanding of the world, but
sometimes a discovery is made that is so startling and different that it
changes the way we view history. Digging Deep showcases the most
exciting examples of these lost puzzle pieces and how recent advances in
science brought them to light. From the new clues about life in the
Stone Age gleaned from Ötzi the Ice Man, to new opinions about King
Richard III's villainous reputation deduced from the discovery of his
long-lost tomb, Digging Deep is full of fascinating examples of how
modern science has disrupted the status quo.
Sidebars and illustrations with easy-to-follow explanations of
radio-carbon dating, DNA, and other scientific topics provide further
