intelligent read for any who likes the social sciences

A great book because I love anthropology, archaeology, and ethnobotany!This book gives a great overview of archaeological techniques during excavactions and tells how archaeologists determine age, sex, climate, etc.. based on just the bones!Then Rachham goes on to explain how the animal bones can tell us about early Homosapiens.Short book though, only 65 pages (small print so that's okay!) Great pictures!
