I read Crichton's "Timeline" on a whim and I really enjoyed it. My husband did, too!
One of the BEST archaeology tales out there isn't really a mystery, but it is SOOO good,
Doomsday Book . Phenomenal writer, though generally in the sci fi/fantasy section of your favorite Barnes & Noble.
Dance Hall of the Dead by Tony Hillerman
becke,. Tony Hillerman's another author I think can be put in the archeological category. His stories are set in the Southwest, and feature Navaho, Hopi and Zuni characters, but we know the history of those people go back a lonnnng way. So it's natural there would be archeolical and anthropologic interest in those books.
BTW, kudos for putting together such a comprehensive list for us! I've recently discoverd Aaron Elkins and have been reading as many of his books as I can get my hands on. I've also read one of Michael Orenduff's Pot Thief books--but had to put in a special order to get it to come to my local Barnes and Noble. I wonder how many of these books we are discussing would be easily obtained today.

I agree! We haven't talked about Tony Hillerman's books much here, but I HIGHLY recommend them! I think I've read every one.
Hi Becke, this site looks great!! I never knew , How many books were out, on this subject. We are still dealing with the after effects of Irene here in N.E. CT. we are on generator power , but the cable and internet came on this morning. Hope it stays on, but we never know , Until we have the power back on in our area. It could be days lots of down trees . at least we don't have to worry about flooding at my home we are on a hill, But many roads are out from rivers & ponds over flowing. Good News is we are having sunny days for the week!!

Hi - I've been wondering what part of the country you are all from. I think we have quite a few people on the East Coast. I've got friends without power, with trees down, etc. but so far none of my friends have reported bad flooding. That could change - my brother is in Vermont, and last I heard from him things were pretty bad there!
As to the archaeological mysteries, I keep thinking of others - and I'm sure you all will be able to add even more!
After Glow (Ghost Hunters Series #2)
I've read some but not all of the books on this list - I found these suggestions here:
Hi becke, I hope your brother in Vermont is OK. We only run the generator for a couple of hrs then we power up electronics, and can get to the news & internet. I did hear Vermont is getting record flooding. It's getting much better here, the roads are pretty good now. Our town is 85% without power now and other towns in CT have been lucky.

I have a friend in Connecticut who has been without power for two days. Not fun when it's hot outside!
Ahhh, so many more books to add to my TBR list!
I do enjoy the Elizabeth Peters Amelia Peabody mysteries, becke. The early ones where Ramses is young are favorites, especially The Mummy Case and The Deeds of the Disturber.
Here's another author I think we might add to the list. She was at a "three-fer" author book signing I attended a few months ago, and although I didn't buy her book at the time( I was there for one of the other authors), her talk was very interesting. She has books which feature Frankie MacFarlane, Geologist.
I couldn't get a pic of her latest, Fracture, from the Barnes and Noble site, so I settled for the above, which is the first book in the series.

Thanks - I'm not familiar with this author.
