Archaeology Detectives takes the reader on a journey from initial discovery of specific sites or monuments to contemporary understanding of the civilisations that built them, through incredibly presented double page spreads. Topics range from cave life to Troy, the Palace of Knossos to Egypt and Pompeii! The mix of pictures, varied paragraph lengths, colours and fonts, is made engaging and interesting due to original presentational devices.

This exciting book makes an excellent resources for teachers, particularly of History, English and Geography KS3, as well as being a perfect gift for children.
