Ancient America
Presenting \"the real deal\" of American antiquity—as opposed to the hyped fare of many cable TV shows—Kenneth Feder invites readers to explore the stunning technological, architectural, engineering, and artistic achievements of America's first peoples.
Part travel guide, part friendly reference, Ancient America showcases fifty iconic and publicly-accessible sites located across the contiguous United States—including monumental pyramids of earth, \"castles\" ensconced in cliff niches, and vast rock art galleries. Among the places profiled are four World Heritage Sites (Chaco Canyon, NM; Mesa Verde, CO; Cahokia, IL; Poverty Point, LA); numerous Historic Landmarks and National Monuments (including Crystal River, FL; Town Creek Mound, NC; Casa Grande, AZ; and Hovenweep, UT); and stunningly diverse sites ranging from Serpent Mound (OH) and Horsethief Lake (WA) to Canyon de Chelly (AZ) and Nine Mile Canyon (UT).
In addition to practical visitor information, Feder tells the fascinating stories of each site as revealed by archaeological research. Introductory chapters delve into the deep past of Native America; historical and cultural details as well as original photography round out the site entries. Readers will be inspired to visit these remarkable places where the past continues to resonate in the present.

Dangerous Places: Health, Safety, and Archaeology
Reviews ^IDangerous Places^R is an excellent health and safety reference manual for all archaeologists who are actively engaged in fieldwork...From start to finish, the book is well-written, straightforward, and presents information necessary for project managers, field school directors, and field archaeologists at all levels to protect themselves (and those under their supervision) from taking unecessary health risks while pursuing fieldwork. I recommend this volume without reservation. ...should be required reading for field crews and their supervisors to emphasize the risks of digging in areas of human use and occupancy and to provide guidance for ensuring health and safety in specific environments.

Archaeological oddities : a field guide to forty claims of lost civilizations, ancient visitors, and other strange sites in North America
\"This book is an offbeat field guide for sites in North America that reflect the rejection of the facts of prehistory and history. Though fake, the forty sites Feder highlights are fascinating and fun places to visit. Feder provides an entertaining summary of those forty sites along with the practical information you'll need to visit them\"--Provided by publisher.
