I loved this story. I'm going to get the book. Anyone who gives it a 1 star is not a newbephil! (neophiliac). I can understand this passion. Of course was in the Peace Corps and lives abroad for 11 years.....I love seekers...

I was surprised no mention was made about the trope of "discovery" in this narative. The arqueological site visited may be obscure but -- as is commonly the case -- not unknown to local people. Does this undermine the seeker's adventure? Why not reflect on the relationship of seekers and locals instead of sweeping it under the rug?
