From the Publisher
Introduces students to the practicalities of the archaeological experience-from creating a budget to acquiring field gear to selecting a crew-with a unique emphasis on the planning stage and the creation of a research design.
Integrates method and theory with practical application: the workbook provides background information; the computer simulation allows students to apply this information to their own virtual excavation.
Includes full-color photos of sites and artifacts, on-screen maps, site plans, graphs, and charts, providing a challenging and entertaining interactive experience with a strong pedagogical base.
Offers students the opportunity to revisit research plans, experiment with different excavation techniques, and compare their results with the authors' published case study of Combe-Capelle excavations in the 1990s.
