Summary:
"Welcome to the eleventh edition of Frauds, Myths, and Mysteries: Science and Pseudoscience in Archaeology! Eleven editions! This book is practically venerable. But eleven editions? Why? Why do books need to go into multiple editions? It's simple, really, if you believe the click-bait headlines on websites. If you read a lot about science in popular media, that heading might seem eerily familiar. Quite a bit of popular coverage of science frames researchers, including archaeologists, as being baffled, confused, flummoxed, outraged, puzzled, bewitched, bothered, and bewildered by some newly announced discovery. Thus, the need to "rewrite the textbooks.""-- Provided by publisher.
