This work resulted in his first book, Linguistic Archaeology: An Introduction. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e All this had been the result of a talk he heard on the CBC about the \"Wanderings\" of Odysseus. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e His next effort is expected to be the translation of the 1200-year-old \"Aurai'cept na n' ees,\" the operations manual of the Benedectine monks.
