An archaeologist with more than thirty seasons of excavation experience, Eric H. Cline has conducted fieldwork around the world, from Greece and Crete to Egypt, Israel, and Jordan. In Digging Deeper, Cline answers the questions archaeologists are most frequently asked, such as: How do you know where to dig? How are excavations actually done? How do you know how old something is? Who gets to keep what is found? How do you know what people from the past ate, wore, and looked like?

Adapted from Cline's acclaimed book Three Stones Make a Wall, this lively little volume is brimming with insights and practical advice about how archaeology really works. Whether you are an armchair archaeologist or embarking on your first excavation, Digging Deeper is an essential primer on the art of the dig.

Industry Reviews

'Archaeologists are often asked questions such as how do we know where to dig, and do we get to keep what we find. Writing in a lucid and engaging style, Eric Cline answers these and other common questions about archaeology. This slender volume is a quick and enjoyable read that is hard to put down. Aimed at nonspecialists with an interest in archaeology, it will also be a useful tool for classroom teaching.'
