Ancient Greece:History Beneath Your Feet by Peter Hicks

 This book, as the title indicates, is focused primarily on the archaeological remains of various sites, and what those discoveries shed on history, in a basic overview format.

Each site covers only about 1-2 pages.  Unless a child is highly into the archaeological aspects of history, they probably won't need this book. 

However, there are some crafts in this book, based on archaeological finds, that your child might find interesting.  #1 is the Gold Mask of Agamemnon, found during a Mycenaean excavation. #2 is Make Your Own Delphic Temple.  #3 is Make Your Own Trireme. 

There is also some information on various techniques used by archaeologists.
