Archaeological science, also known as archaeometry, consists of the application of scientific techniques to the analysis of archaeological materials, to assist in dating the materials. It is related to methodologies of archaeology.
Archaeological science - Wikipedia

What did you think Terri? I liked it and the premise but it didn't quite deliver for me. Although there was enough set up for further books and I would probably read them just to see what happens next to the girls.
urgh. I quite disliked that one. The best part about it was the cover... LOL

I loved the idea but it fell a bit short for me also. And I hated Diana! She was bratty. I will read the next one- a lot of potential with these characters but this was just okay for me.
You are both so forgiving 😂 I couldn’t possibly read the next. You’ll have to tell me if it improves 😉
Finished Cake 4/12/18on shelf and sheet for both regular and mini
ETA: this one also has DNA in text (noted on sheet) so I don't know if you think that is harder to find then a musician and would rather it be used there? Also, has musical instrument on cover.
I'm now starting Simon vs. the Homo Sapiens Agenda which has 3 e's in title (#22) for sure. may fit for other things as I go along.
Thanks Sass!And I really liked that one - enjoy!
Does DNA have to be DNA for the mini challenge? Or can it be deoxyribonucleic acid?
The book I’m currently reading has the word DNA in it. :)
