Archaeology: The Basics

3.4/5 ( ratings)

Now in its second edition Archaeology : The Basics has been fully updated to reflect the increasing popularity of the subject, focusing on areas which have seen the most growth such as material culture, human evolution and the political use of the past. Lively and engaging, some of the key questions answered include:

* What are the basic concepts of archaeology?
* How and what do we know about people and objects from the past?
* What makes a good explanation in archaeology?
* How do we know where to look?

From every day examples to the more obscure, this is essential reading for all students, independent archaeologists and indeed all those who want to know more about archaeological thought, history and practice. A piece of broken pottery will never seem the same again.
