Rated Archaeology from Space: How the Future Shapes Our Past 6/10

A good overview of the state of the art of archaeology today, looking at the practice and the issues that surround it, especially (as noted in the title) the new avenues being opened by satellite imagery. The author is passionate about the subject and asks great questions - her values and enthusiasm are obvious and admirable. I found myself wishing the book itself was a little more engaging, though - it falls a little short of what I was hoping for as writing. Still, if you think you’re interested in archaeology, this is a bright and interesting read.
