"This is a highly readable, comprehensive book that covers topics that all archaeologists have to deal with on a daily basis when we interact with the public. When someone asks me about last night's episode of Ancient Aliens or the latest claim of the discovery of the real Atlantis, this is the book I suggest." --Susan Johnston, George Washington University "Frauds, Myths, and Mysteries is the go-to textbook for anything related to pseudoarchaeology. It is written in a highly engaging style and covers a wide range of sites and topics that are familiar to students. There is no other book I would recommend more to colleagues--or to anybody interested in learning more about archaeological myths and mysteries." --Jacob J. Sauer, Vanderbilt University "Frauds, Myths, and Mysteries has stood the test of time as the textbook for teaching critical thinking, the value of the scientific method, and the value of all that 'real deal' archaeology. Feder's sardonic wit, amusing personal anecdotes, and rigorous attention to detail makes it essential reading for the aspiring archaeologist." --Heather Rockwell, University of Wyoming "Feder gathers together a splendid collection of pseudoscience and nonsense. He has read it all so you don't have to!" --Keith Eppich, Collin College
