Synopsis
This third edition has been revised and updated with new illustrations, and expanded to include many developments in archaeology on both sides of the Atlantic. It contains a survey of modern archaeological methods of studying the past, and examines traditional methodology, fieldwork and excavation, as well as recent scientific techniques. Greene also looks at the application of sociological and anthropological insights. He describes basic practical procedures and clarifies some of the complex means used in dating and analysis. Finally, he explores the relationship between history and archaeology, resolving the conflict between modern progress and the conservation of ancient sites.

Review
'Kevin Greene has succeeded admirably in his task of providing an introduction to archaeology for undergraduates, adult students and the general reader, with his clear exposition and skillful use of illustrations.' - Council for British Archaeology Newsletter
'A splendid book and a worthy introduction to the subject.' - Times Educational Supplement
From the Author
This book also has its own website...
The book is aimed at people without much prior knowledge of archaeology who might find the size and detail of some other textbooks rather overwhelming. If you are a hard-up student, take a careful look at this book and its alternatives, and decide which one is written at the right level for you. I'm always pleased to hear from readers and website users who have suggestions for additions and/or improvements for future versions.

Seller rating 5 out of 5 stars
Trade Paperback. Condition: Very Good. Ninth Revised Edition 1995. 208 Pages Indexed. Who is this book aimed at? I have tried to provide a readable and informative book suitable for just about any interested reader from midteens upwards. I envisage it as a first point of contact with the subject, and hope that it may lead on to wider reading. It is certainly not designed as a textbook, for lack the comprehensive range of knowledge that this term implies. The book reflects my interests, and it does not claim to venture very far beyond my own expertise in the archaeology of Roman and early medieval western Europe. Since introductions to archaeology tend to be written by prehistorians, readers will probably find more examples drawn from historical periods in this book than in most others.
