Summary: |
This thoroughly researched book explores human history through the study of bones. Maps, photographs, and archival materials illustrate the text. The text is complex and the print small. |
Teaching Ideas: |
Because the text is dense and the print small, teachers may want to use the book as a reference in a larger text set on archeology. Learners can compare and contrast the ways that deaths are dealt with in various regions and cultures using a distinctive features chart. Readers may want to reseach why particular burial and preservation methods are used. A sequence chart might help readers make sense of some of the methods described for excavating and reconstructing burial sites. |
