Join in on an archaeological dig and make some exciting discoveries about how scientists learn about the past! Archaeologists on a dig work very much like detectives at a crime scene. Every chipped rock, charred seed, or fossilized bone could be a clue to how people lived. And there's so much to see in this archaeologist's dig site!
In this information-packed Let's-Read-and-Find-Out Science book, Kate Duke explains what scientists are looking for, how they find it, and what their finds reveal. The book's clear and appealing text, which includes sidebars with related facts and speech bubbles in the illustrations, reveals interesting information, from how artifacts get buried underground to the tools archaeologists use to uncover them. It's sure to be a hit with young science fans!
"Upbeat, conversational text, fact-filled sidebars, speech bubbles, and instructive illustrations provide a delightful cornucopia of information that students will return to again and again." — School Library Journal
