Accessible and engaging
5 stars
So this was a great read. I didn't really have any expectations going into this and was pleasantly surprised by how accessible and compelling it was.
While I'm vaguely aware of what's involved, it was interesting to hear the process and how many disciplines are involved in putting together pieces of the past. Feels like being a forensic detective trying to solve a crime but, like, many thousands of years ago.
I think I will ensure I'm buried with some randomly selected grave goods so they'll have to find this review to explain why.
