I tried to do archeology as a minor in university and severely failed my classes… BUT I LOVE HISTORY AND LEARNING ABOUT PLACES UGH so I will forever pretend to be an archaeologist by reading these books. Thank you.

Me too! Haha :D I had some archaeology classes in my "ancient history" minor and then tried it 100% at my masters but couldn't finish it, so the books will have to do for now :)

This sounds like fun!

Very nice and extensive collection. I dream about studying history and/or archeology (and few other things, tbh). Books are a definite void filler in this area of my life😸

Then I hope that some of these books will light you up ☺️
