Kenneth L. Feder is Professor of Anthropology at Central Connecticut State University. He is the author of several books, including The Past in Perspective: An Introduction to Human Prehistory, Eighth Edition (OUP, 2019), and Linking to the Past: A Brief Introduction to Archaeology, Second Edition (OUP, 2007).
"This is a highly readable, comprehensive book that covers topics
that all archaeologists have to deal with on a daily basis when we
interact with the public. When someone asks me about last night's
episode of Ancient Aliens or the latest claim of the discovery of
the real Atlantis, this is the book I suggest."--Susan Johnston,
George Washington University "Frauds, Myths, and Mysteries is the
go-to textbook for anything related to pseudoarchaeology. It is
written in a highly engaging style and covers a wide range of sites
and topics that are familiar to students. There is no other book I
would recommend more to colleagues--or to anybody interested in
learning more about archaeological myths and mysteries."--Jacob J.
Sauer, Vanderbilt University
"Frauds, Myths, and Mysteries has stood the test of time as the
textbook for teaching critical thinking, the value of the
scientific method, and the value of all that 'real deal'
archaeology. Feder's sardonic wit, amusing personal anecdotes, and
rigorous attention to detail makes it essential reading for the
aspiring archaeologist."--Heather Rockwell, University of
Wyoming
"Feder gathers together a splendid collection of pseudoscience and
nonsense. He has read it all so you don't have to!"--Keith Eppich,
Collin College
