​

​Haywood, J.,  2001,  The Illustrated History Encyclopedia.  Everyday Life in the Ancient World.  Anness Publishing Ltd,  London England.​

This book looks at all the different aspects of life of many different ancient civilisations, so you can compare different civilisations to each other.

It is a book produced for children, so it is not as detailed as it could be.

The book has lots of photos and diagrams and even shows the reader how to make things form the ancient world.

​
Catling, C.,  2009,  Archaeology.  Step-By-Step.  Anness Publishing Ltd, London England.

The book goes into great detail about everything to do with archaeology, from planning a site, to excavating an ancient city, and also how discovered items are treated.

It's a very long book, and there is a lot of facts which weren't useful for this project.

It has photos taken in the present of the places where ancient life occurred, and also lots of photos of interesting things that have been found.

​
Malam, J.,  2007,  Amazing History.  Mummies.  Franklin Watts, Sydney Australia.

It is easy to understand, has great pictures, and tells a really good story.

This book is very basic, and aimed at young children, so there is not as much information as there could be.

There is a section on modern day mummies which is really interesting.

​
Harrison, P.,  2009,  Extreme Mummies.  Mysteries of the Ancient World.  A & C Black Publishers Ltd.  London England.

This book is funny, is mostly made up of pictures, but teaches all about different types of mummies.

The book is a bit gruesome, and it's pretty basic.

It also covers frozen mummies and celebrity mummies.
​
​
Cremin, A.,  2007,  The World's Most Significant Sites and Cultural Treasures.  Archaeologica.  Random House Australia.  Sydney Australia.

This book covers all the archaeological sites around the world, and has a lot of information.

It's a very big book, and takes a long time to read.

It covers every place in the world where there have been arcaeological finds, not just Europe.

MacCulloch, J.A., 2005,  The Religion of the Ancient Celts.  http://www.gutenberg.org/files/14672/14672-h/14672-h.htm.  (25/05/13)

This is actually an Ebook that gives very detailed information about the Celts, their religious practices, how they sacrificed humans, and about the festivals.

There are no pictures, diagrams or maps, and it is a very long book to read.

It contains so much good information that is really interesting and talks about the Celts practising magic.
​

Manson, D.,  2012,  The Celts - Lost Treasures of the Ancient World.  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XS7OmcX3uRA.  (25/5/13)

This is a very interesting video with lots of reenactments of Celtic life, battles and the history of how the Celtic civilisation grew.

The video is very long and concentrates too much on Great Britain and not enough on Europe.

The video also tells the story of Boudica, the Celtic woman who led a great army against the Romans, and how when her army fled, committed suicide.
​

Lees-Montagrier, J.,  2008, Celtic Religion.  http://www.green-man-of-cercles.org/articles/celtic_religion.pdf.  (23/5/13)

This web site has lots of information about the Celts, including funeral rites, their education, medicine, religion and also about their use of human sacrifice.

There are no pictures or diagrams, and there is no index - you have to read through the whole article to find what you want.

It talks about the tribal rites, the festivals, and all the mystical aspects of their religion.
​
​
A Production of the Archaeological Institute of America, 1997,  Archaeology Magazine - Bodies of the Bog - Archaeological Magazine Archive.  http://archive.archaeological.org/online/features/bog/ (23/5/13)

It tells how the bog bodies were made, about the violence that they suffered before they died, and also about their clothing style, and has really good pictures.

There isn't any information much about the societies that they came from.

The web page has the pictures of the reconstructed sculpture faces of some of the bog bodies, including Yde girl.

​
Produced by the WGBH Educational Foundation,  2006,  The Perfect Corpse.  htttp://www.pbs.org/wgbh/nova/bog/.  (20/5/13)

This web site looks at all the bog bodies in Europe, and has pictures for each of them, and a map of their location.

There is nothing really negative about this site.

It has a section of 10 ways to make a mummy, which describes all the different ways around the world that mummies have been created.
