Review
'Strongly recommended for novice undergraduates ... makes an absolutely excellent case for archaeology as a discipline.' - Antiquity
'This is a thought-provoking guide to what Gamble terms an 'archaeological imagination'. The digger boasting the worn stub of a trowel in their right back trouser pocket should feel incomplete without a copy of Archaeology: The Basics in the other.' - Current Archaeology
Synopsis
This work is designed to provide its reader with everything they should know when embarking on archaeological studies whether they are A Level or first year students or indeed if they are simply an interested amateur. This textbook introduces the reader to the fundamentals of archaeological study from fieldwork to the key issues - reconstruction of the past, heritage and conservation management, interrogating artefacts and interpreting the landscape. It also provides a crucial bridge between work in the field and the often forgotten areas such as theory, project management and the history and development of archaeology.
