Two fun books for teaching undergraduates theory and methods are Adrian
Praetezellis' Death by Theory (https://rowman.com/ISBN/9780759119574)  and
Dug to Death (https://rowman.com/ISBN/9780759104068). Both are written as
mystery novels, but with a lot of excellent information.

I also recommend The Archaeologist's Toolkit which is a series of 7 books
written by various authors (https://rowman.com/ISBN/9780759124394).
