Digging Up Texas: A Guide to the Archaeology of the State

This is a great book for the novice and directs the reader in the field of historical and present archaeology, Texas field research, and in my opinion...Texas history- from ancient to present times. I thought the drawings, even though primitive, were helpful and interesting and did not degrade the subject matter at all. I've driven by many of the spots mentioned in the book all my life and never knew what awesome things lie beyond the barbed wire fences. This is a book that I will take with me on long road trips traveling across the highways in the great state of Texas that I call home!

Love this book and can't wait to finish it

I thought this would be a slightly more academic book. It has some fairly decent information, but it is written like an elementary school textbook. Also, there are these really terrible "What would it be like" sections were they tell little fake stories about the people featured in the book. Terrible. Skip it.

Excellent guide and reference source

Some parts of this book are very good , however it appears to me that much of it reflects a personal opinion in regards toStatements made .
