Here are a few of the new books on archaeology: Praetzellis, Adrian (a fellow list member and author of Death by Theory). Dug to Death: A Tale of Archaeological Method and Mayhem (AltaMira Press, October 2003). This book has not yet been released, but can be pre-ordered. I highly recommend this and Adrian's other book as wonderful guides to teaching archaeology with the information written as mystery novels. http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/0759104077/anitasbookshelf/ Books for 4th graders: These books are available on Amazon, but I am giving the URL for the publisher, since Amazon wants full price, and the publisher has a Web special. They all have library binding, and are fully illustrated. Authors - Jack S.
