Excavations has some deliciously dry humor that's the great gem within this book. Myers' characters are well-developed, even if sometimes too stuck in their own idiosyncrasies, which can make them feel one-sided. The story itself is interesting, a workplace comedy that centers around archaeology and feminism. However, the first half of the book is somewhat slow, and even when the narrative picks up steam, it can still feel sluggish, surprisingly ending as abruptly as an earthquake.
