With that in
mind, I went to Title Wave the other day and picked up a couple books to add to
what I already had. I now have a stack of what I hope are some really good
books waiting for my attention.
The Civilization of Angkor
by Charles Higham
Ancient Angkor by Michael Freeman and Claude Jacques
Discovering Our Past: a Brief Introduction to Archaeology
by Wendy Ashmore and Robert J. Sharer
Archaeology: Theories, Methods, and Practices
by Colin Renfrew and Paul Bahn
Those first
three really do look interesting; I think I will enjoy reading those. That fourth
one, though – it’s more of a textbook for a class – not sure that I really want
to get quite that in-depth on this. But we’ll see how it goes.
Who knows, I
may find it completely fascinating and devour all four of them in one month!
Very cool--archaeology is just fascinating. My mom is an archaeologist, and it was always so cool to see the different projects her team worked on at their dig sites when I was a kid. I bet you'll have a blast!
ReplyDeleteThese books sound really interesting. It must be really exciting to be preparing such a exotic trip. Enjoy every detail!
