Synopsis:

Archaeological Resource Management, a unique and comprehensive introduction to the structure and context of archaeology in Britain, has established itself as an indispensable guide for students and professionals. This second edition has been fully revised and updated to take into account the legislative changes, development in various techniques and the general evolution of the discipline since first publication in 1993. The book reviews the vital issues facing archaeologists during a period in which the discipline has become increasingly complicated and diverse, and the authors offer an expert analysis of the crucial questions of principle and practice that have arisen. In particular they examine the implications for the archaeological profession of heritage management and legislation, stricter planning controls, changing land use, and the pressure of public interest and concern. This wide-ranging coverage of the subject makes Archaeological Resource Management an invaluable handbook for field archaeologists, archaeology students and heritage managers in Britain.

Planners concerned with archaeological remains and managers responsible for cultural and natural resources will find this book illuminating reading and essential source of reference.
