A new entry into the archaeo-fiction genre, Creekside combines the story of a modern CRM-based archaeological excavation in Kentucky, woven around the stories of the people who lived in the cabins represented by the ruins.

Anthropology professor Kelli Carmean has produced a compelling story of a new American family during the first decades after the revolutionary war, with all their imperfections and strife. And, at the same time, she's given us an accurate portrayal of modern archaeological excavation under tight budgets and deadlines. Creekside is a fun, engaging read for anyone in archaeology, or just interested in how archaeology works.
