COMMUNITY REVIEWS

digging up the 1980s submitted by camelsamba on July 1, 2012, 9:39am Have you ever wondered how archaeologists interpret what they find at a dig? Or have you ever wondered what future archaeologists would think of prominent features of our current landscape? If so, then this is the book for you. The premise is that North America was buried under piles of third-class mail in the 1980s. 2000 years in the future, someone stumbles upon a closed room and unearths a ceremonial burial chamber - or did they?

One thing that did bother me: since Europe survived this cataclysm, why didn't knowledge of the artifacts survive? Did life really change that much over 2000 years that common things were no longer recognizable? But if you can ignore that aspect, you will surely be entertained by this amusing book, full of the detailed illustrations for which David Macaulay is known.
