Synopsis
"A fascinating look at contemporary archaeology but also a twisted story of greed and its effects." ―Dallas Morning News
Faye Longchamp, back in school to pursue her dream of becoming an archaeologist, has been asked to run a project for which she is barely qualified, under the direction of a man who doesn't seem to like her much. Her assignment: to uncover the origins of a mysterious ethnic group. The Sujosa have lived in Alabama's most remote hills for centuries and have shown impressive immunity to many diseases...including AIDS.
Late one night, Faye awakes to find the house in flames. She saves herself and one of her housemates. But her friend Carmen, the project historian, never had a chance. Within days, an 18-year-old boy jumps from a cell phone tower that, when completed, would connect the outside world to the Sujosa community. Are these events somehow related?

Review
Faye Longchamp, girl archaeologist, is given an opportunity that many fledgling diggers would give their trowels for. She is put in charge of
finding the origins of an ethnic group of people in the Alabama hills. But she's puzzled by the lack of work that has been done on site when she
arrives with her assistant, Joe. As she looks into the scholarly aspects of the dig, she is distracted by the death of Carmen, the oral historian of the
dig. Before she gets very far in investigating Carmen's demise, there's another unexplained death, this of a teenager from the Sujosa community. And
soon, Faye is fighting for her own life against someone who doesn't want the secrets of the Sujosa revealed. A fascinating look at contemporary
archaeology but also a twisted story of greed and its effects. -- Laurie Trimble, Dallas Morning News (9.11.2005)
Faye Longchamp is digging out of her depth....
Praise for Artifacts
"Few corners of Florida remain unmined for crime fiction and now, happily, there's one less...."
--Publishers Weekly
Evans'...portrayal of the archeological digs taking place on the islands is factual and interesting.... The locale is wonderfully described and beautifully etched for the reader. A compelling read that holds the reader's attention throughout.
