Jade Dragon

This teaching novel is an archaeological suspense story set in northeast China at a site that is called the Goddess Temple. Clara, protagonist of Nelsonâ€™s Spirit Bird Journey, begins work at an excavation at the Temple, only to discover the problems of contemporary looting, government meddling, and excavation interpersonal dynamics. Nelsonâ€™s story also describes the lifeways of the Neolithic people who used the temple thousands of years agoâ€•their economy, social structure, gender relations, and religious ritualsâ€•through the eyes of a young woman living there. Written by a leading American archaeologist specializing in these topics, this volume is both a good read and good archaeology. An ideal starting point to introduce archaeology to college students.
