extant monuments."-- "Kirkus Reviews"

people, but also implements the ideas in her own life. Readers can
readily implement her ideas and train themselves to use these
mnemonic devices just as the ancient ones may have done so long
ago."-- "Shelf Awareness"
"Kelly offers a new viewpoint, showing us people who, faced with a
problem, developed an effective way of overcoming it."--
"Cosmos"
"Kelly presents a compelling argument that appears quite plausible.
Some archaeologists might disagree, but Kelly is thinking outside
of the box."-- "Choice"

physical spaces and their archaeological discoveries. Readers
