Incredible illustrations. This book demonstrates our fascination with artifacts as well as prompts readers to think about what their stuff truly means.

Realistic look at how our culture might be seen without context.

An interesting look on how the future archaeologist might view life in the 1980s. I doubt that our civilization will be buried under a pile of junk mail...but other than that, an interesting book.

Delightful spoof. Love this almost as much as the Egyptian wing in so many modern museums.

Some light silliness, poking fun on archeology.
