Atlantis, ancient astronauts, and pyramid power. Archaeologists are perennially bombarded with questions about the "mysteries" of the past. They are also constantly addressing more realistic controversies: origins of the First Americans, the ownership of antiquities, and national claims to historical territories.

She shows how to use the methods of science to challenge the legitimacy of pseudoscientific proclamations and develop reasonable...

Her book-critically analyzes the growing body of evidence on prehistoric sailing...
