'A tale of archaeological method and mayhem'.

Adrian Praetzellis, 2003 Altamira Press, Walnut Creek.

Well is it a spoof? Set in an excavation in Victoria, Central Otago undertaken by the University of Invercargill it is clearly fiction - but it is also a who-dunit and a primer on underaking excavations. Praetzellis has spent some time here so the local references are knowing. The New Zealand English glossary is a hoot.

Ian Barber has reviewed it in Archaeology in New Zealand.
