Alice Beck Kehoe offers introductory students a method of evaluating and assessing claims about the past in this reader-friendly, concise text, using examples from Native American origins to ancient astronauts.
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. Alice Beck Kehoe offers to introductory students a method of evaluating and assessing these claims about the past in this reader-friendly, concise text. She shows how to use the methods of science to challenge the legitimacy of pseudoscientific proclamations and develop reasonable interpretations on controversial issues. Not one to shy away from controversy herself, Kehoe takes some standson transpacific migration, shamanism, the Kensington Runestonewhich will challenge instructor and students alike, and foster class discussion.
