I like this book because it has some great pictures of stuff from a long time ago. This book would be perfect for a 5th grader because it has some great stuff that I think a 5th grader would like.if you like book that have interesting facts then you'll like this book because it has some interesting stuff. A teaser for this book would be that it has a lot of facts in it.

I took a long time getting through this rather uncomplicated book. Some might think it would only appeal to children, but it succinctly and gorgeously describes the fundamentals and definition of archaeology. It’s a little treasure for its target audience which must be young people but is not insulting to any adult who comes across it.

The version I read was published in 1994, and printed in Shenzhen! Still contained a lot of details which is not too old when this subject is considered :). The Fakes and forgeries part is particularly thought-provoking. This is too wicked to influence how the past is interpreted and create so much mistrust...

A concise little intro to the excavation process, what archaeologists do with the artefacts they gather, and how they deduce information from it. Surprised to find quite a bit of moral discussion in it as well.

This book provides a wonderful yet concise summary of the science used in the study of archaeology.

As with every other book in the DK Eyewitness series, this is a fantastic book for kids and adults alike. There is so much to see and read here - every page is full of fascinating pictures and information. A longer book at 62 pages, there's enough here to give a child something new to look at every time they pick it up.

This will definitely be a book on my elementary classroom shelves - this and any other book in the Eyewitness series that I can afford to buy. :-)

Asher (5 years old) and I mainly just skimmed through this book looking at pictures and reading some of the captions. We looked at after we read the introduction to Archeology in the Story of the World Vol. 1. It was a good supplement because it visually showed a lot of what the section talked about.

Very nice illustrations and photographs. Asher was entranced with them.

this book gave me an accurate picture of the timelines of ancient societies and civilization and about what remains as evidence of their rituals and practices.

Arkeoloji sevenler için eğlenceli, görselleri güzel fakat sunduğu bilgiler açısından fazla derin olmayan bir çalışma.
