Books on Archaeology
If you would like to learn more about archaeology in general, here are some of my very favorite books on archaeology (and potential clues to future Cartouche Chronicle settings). Note that many of these are older versions from my younger days, UVA archaeology classes, and museum tours so may be out of print, but there are many OTHER great books on archaeology for all levels of interest on www.amazon.com
