Time's Anvil: England, Archaeology and the Imagination by Richard Morris

4.0

This took a while to finish, but it was still really interesting and explained so perfectly why I'm so enamored with archaeology. It also included some thoughtful commentary about how we delineate "epochs" and "ages" and how none of that really means anything. The writing was a bit all over the place and confused me sometimes, which is why it's not a perfect score, but someone with a clearer head or better focus might not get so confused, haha. Anyone who would love to learn more about archaeology should read this book. If the title wasn't a giveaway, it is focused almost solely on British history, but the ideas are universal.
