Archaeology/anthropology books etc

[AugustRose]

Can anyone help me? My DD2 is almost 13 and very keen on forensic archaeology/anthropology but all the books I can find are for a younger age or very dry and academic. Most are also very old and I wondered if anyone knew of any newer books - non fiction preferably.

hi
can you try a book on medieval im currently reading a time travellers guide to an medieval England I got given it for chemas at 14 but she might find it abit dry and if she is a young 13 some of it might be a littly to mature or a subscription to current archaeology might be good

How about this one

Or there might be some here

Try "The Story of Archaeology" by Justin Pollard. He also has a couple of other books which may be appropriate too.

Francis Pryor writes in an easy-to-read style and he's a well respected archaeologist.
Try "Britain BC". Not many pictures in it though!

I’ve no books suggestions as all of mine as grad and postgrad books, but I highly recommend looking into joining YAC (Young archaeologists Club) - www.yac-uk.org/

Thank you for the suggestions, I think there are definitely a few I could choose. Unfortunately our nearest young archaeology group is 30 miles away, we did a dig last year and I'm going to look into some more for next year as we both enjoyed it.

Time Team have a book.

Otherwise, second hand might be the way to go. Abebooks would be good to look at.

Doubtless Alice Roberts has a few!

The Young Oxford Book of Archaeology by the late great Norah Moloney would be suitable I think. What era is your DD most interested in? - could suggest some others if you can narrow it down a bit :)

The dig we did was at a local roman fort and she loved it at Yorvik viking museum, but she is interested in any era really. She loves the anthropology side, looking at bones to determine how people died or if they had illnesses or deformities because of the way they worked. I think I'll get the Oxford book, I also want the one imsorryiasked recommended 'Their skeletons speak' but it has to come from America so it will have to do for her birthday at the end of January.
