Industry Reviews
Gr 3-6 Once again, the creators of Bats, Bugs, and Biodiversity (1995) and The Great Antler Auction (1996, both S & S) have combined clear, informative, color photographs with simply stated, easy-to-comprehend prose to take readers along on "an ultimate field trip." Here, they follow a group of students from Hannibal, MO, on their week-long visit to Crow Canyon Archaeological Center, a research and teaching establishment in Cortez, CO. The youngsters learn about archaeology and the ancestral Puebloans by studying artifacts, touring ancient sites, participating in an on-going dig, and trying out skills and games from the past. The pages are in a rainbow of colors that add to the liveliness created by quotes from the kids and the action photographs. The well-organized volume includes a series of questions that encourage readers to think about archaeological quandaries and to reconsider and revise their answers as they go along. Up-to-date theories and interpretations are an important asset. This book gives readers a solid sense of both the world of a current-day archaeologist and the world of the ancient Native Americans from the Four Corners region, as well as a good introduction to Crow Canyon and its staff.
