From the bestselling author of 1177 B.C., an accessible primer to
the archaeologist's craft
An archaeologist with more than thirty seasons of excavation experience,
Eric H. Cline has conducted fieldwork around the world, from Greece and
Crete to Egypt, Israel, and Jordan. In Digging Deeper, Cline answers
the questions archaeologists are most frequently asked, such as: How do
you know where to dig? How are excavations actually done? How do you
know how old something is? Who gets to keep what is found? How do you
know what people from the past ate, wore, and looked like? Adapted from
Cline's acclaimed book Three Stones Make a Wall, this lively little
volume is brimming with insights and practical advice about how
archaeology really works. Whether you are an armchair archaeologist or
embarking on your first excavation, Digging Deeper is an essential
primer on the art of the dig.
