'A tale of archaeological method and mayhem'.

Adrian Praetzellis, 2003 Altamira Press, Walnut Creek.

A who-dunit set in an excavation in Victoria, Central Otago undertaken by the University of Invercargill it is clearly fiction at one level - but it is also a primer on underaking excavations. Praetzellis has spent some time here so the local references are knowing. The New Zealand English glossary is a hoot.
