books 2007: Time Detectives, by Brian Fagan

I liked his other book (The Rape of the Nile) better, but this one was okay. About how archaeologists use technology to find out things about the past, and all kinds of scientists are needed in order to gather information. There were some sections that I thought were really interesting, but other sections about the plant life and climate of ancient Mesopotamia that just made me doze off.
