Part of the acclaimed Let's-Read-and-Find-Out Science series, it meets national STEM standards and is celebrated for making complex scientific concepts accessible and engaging for early readers both at home and in classrooms. ## Description Read and find out about what archaeologists are looking for, how they find it, and what their finds reveal in this colorfully illustrated nonfiction picture book. Archaeologists on a dig work very much like detectives at a crime scene. Every chipped rock, charred seed, or fossilized bone could be a clue to how people lived in the past. In a starred review, School Library Journal called this a "delightful" book "that students will return to again and again." It's a fun introduction to the basics of archaeology and what you need to know to go on a dig. This is a clear and appealing science book for early elementary age kids, both at home and in the classroom. It's a Level 2 Let's-Read-and-Find-Out, which means the book explores more challenging concepts for children in the primary grades. The 100+ titles in this leading nonfiction series are: hands-on and visual acclaimed and trusted great for classrooms Top 10 reasons to love LRFOs: Entertain and educate at the same time Have appealing, child-centered topics Developmentally appropriate for emerging readers Focused; answering questions instead of using survey approach Employ engaging picture book quality illustrations Use simple charts and graphics to improve visual literacy skills Feature hands-on activities to engage young scientists Meet national science education standards Written/illustrated by award-winning authors/illustrators & vetted by an expert in the field Over 130 titles in print, meeting a wide range of kids' scientific interests Books in this series support the Common Core Learning Standards, Next Generation Science Standards, and the Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math (STEM) standards.

Review: Chock-full of information! - I am a Gifted & Talented Resource Teacher and bought this book to supplement my 2nd grade unit on archaeology. HANDS DOWN the best addition I purchased! The pictures are phenomenal in helping students put very new and advanced vocabulary into context. Second graders had a real grasp on what archaeologists do after listening to just this one story. It is so full of information, and yet, reads enough like a story that it's easy for students to follow. You could've heard a pin drop in my classroom while we read that book. They were hooked! I read it aloud as one of the lessons early on in the unit that exposes students to what archaeologists do. For the rest of the unit, I would just remind them of the book, or show one of the diagrams up on my document camera, and they were able to understand and synthesize new information really well! Love, love, LOVE this book! Wish it came with our curriculum in the first place! Review: Even interesting for adults - This book is great for kids and grown-ups. It shows kids the gridded system of a dig, and the tools archaeologists use, and how very little of their work is actually "discoveries". Their work is mostly tedious record keeping, sifting for tiny bits of material, and analysis. This book does a jaw-droppingly good job of taking such gritty details and weaving them into a real book, with a storyline and characters, and keeping the information fresh and interesting. In the end, my elementary-aged scientist got all excited about the site map. If your plans include a trip to a natural history museum, this book is a winner. ## Features - hands-on and visual - acclaimed and trusted - great for classrooms - Entertain and educate at the same time - Have appealing, child-centered topics - Developmentally appropriate for emerging readers - Focused; answering questions instead of using survey approach - Employ engaging picture book quality illustrations - Use simple charts and graphics to improve visual literacy skills - Feature hands-on activities to engage young scientists - Meet national science education standards - Written/illustrated by award-winning authors/illustrators & vetted by an expert in the field ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #105,158 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #22 in Children's Archaeology Books #51 in Children's Fossil Books (Books) #55 in Children's Prehistoric Books (Books) | | Customer Reviews | 4.6 out of 5 stars 255 Reviews | ## Images ![Archaeologists Dig for Clues: A Level 2 Nonfiction Picture Book About Detective Science for Kids (Ages 4-8) (Let's-Read-and-Find-Out Science 2) - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/41fXE0q7ZFL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Chock-full of information! *by J***. on August 17, 2010* I am a Gifted & Talented Resource Teacher and bought this book to supplement my 2nd grade unit on archaeology.

This was the only book that came close! In fact it does a wonderful job of leading the reader (and listener) through the concepts and the reality of our work and what we do with our discoveries.
