Digging up the past
archaeology for the young and curious
by David Veart
"Introduces young and curious readers to the story of New Zealand, from Pacific voyagers to contemporary crime scenes, that archaeologists have discovered. Along the way, readers will learn about what archaeologists actually do, from digging up shell middens to testing ancient DNA. And readers will uncover amazing facts about our past: How Māori used kuri, the native dog, as a four-legged fridge, how warplanes were hidden deep within Devonport's North Head (or were they?), how DNA has revealed the number of people who first settled Aotearoa, and much much more"--Publisher information. Suggested level: primary, intermediate.
