The varied techniques involved in an excavation are unraveled stage-by-stage in this accessible and comprehensive illustrated guide, from the initial surface-sampling of a site to the post-excavation practice of dating finds and building matrices. Sections on the key techniques associated with different types of site, from churches and temples to industrial complexes, plus discussions of educational opportunities, policing local heritage and experimental archaeology will inspire the amateur to build a special interest and potentially develop a field of study or a fully-fledged career. With a total of 700 colour photographs and illustrative artworks, this is a fantastic reference sourcebook and practical handbook for new and experienced archaeologists everywhere.
