Archaeology: Theories, Methods and Practice

620

If you are looking for one book which covers every aspect of archaeology theory and practice then this has to be it. Fast becoming the unnofficial set text for A-level Higher level and Undergraduate Archaeology courses, this clear, well laid out and totally comprehensive work will prove to be the reference book on the subject which will get more regular use than any other.

The 14 chapters cover:

• History of Archaeology
• The Evidence which Societies Leave Behind
• Excavation Techniques
• Dating Methods and Chronology
• Societies of the Past
• Environmental Archaeology
• Subsistence and Diet
• Technology and Tool Use
• Trade and Exchange
• Art and Cognition
• The Archaeology of People
• Explanations of Change
• Case Studies
• Archaeology and the Public.

As you can see from this, it really does cover everything. Naturally the notes and Bibliography are extensive too. This is the book I go to first when I want to find out more about a specific area of archaeology.
