Archeology

I've long been interested in the historic aspects of archeology, by that I mean the stories that archeology tells and the stories behind archeology, not the physical way that one does archeology work. One book that I liked is Patrick Hunt's Ten Discoveries that Rewrote History.

So, my question is what ebooks are there out there that are similar. Looking in Hunt's bibliography, most of the general archeology books don't seem available as ebooks. I know that Brian Fagan has some (I like his history of the climate books), though other than Rape of the Nile, they seem to be rather expensive ($150) text books. When I look for archeology books on Amazon's kindle store, I get mostly biblical studies or chariot of the gods type books.

I do have Preston's Lost City of the Monkey God, The Lost City of Z, Jungle of Stone and Kramer's The Sumerians.
