  abstract: "The ancient past may seem like it's frozen in time, but in fact it never stops changing, thanks to archaeology. In Dig!, you'll join archaeologists on excavations, marvel at the most incredible archaeological finds, and even witness the world as it was hundreds, thousands and millions of years ago. Real-life archaeologist Ruth Hatfield is your expert guide to the wonders of this amazing science, peeling back the layers with clear and simple text. Illustrator Sophia Watts brings the past to life in buzzing, detail-rich scenes and spotlight artifacts. As you dig up the history beneath your feet, here are just some of the finds you'll come face-to-face with: Our earliest ancestor in Ethiopia, the Vikings' softer side, the afterlife army of China's first emperor, a Greek palace buried 3,000 years ago by a volcanic eruption, and all the techniques archaeologists use to investigate, from cutting-edge technology to the simple power of observation! When you're finished digging up the past, turn to the back of the book for a complete timeline of your discoveries, as well as tips on how to start doing archaeology from your own back garden."--
