Synopsis

A core text for courses in Introductory Archaeology, Method and Theory in Archaeology, and Physical Anthropology and Archaeology (as one of two texts).

This wide-ranging, authoritative introduction to the most fundamental principles, methods, and theoretical approaches of archaeology is designed for the complete beginner. Using first-person experience, a conversational narrative, and unique, truly global coverage reflected in examples from all parts of the world, it paints a compelling portrait of archaeology, science, and the past. It provides students with a basic grounding in the conceptual, technical, and ethical aspects of the subject; the career opportunities it offers; and some of the spectacular, and not-so-well known, discoveries that illuminate our past.
