Highlights of This Text

  • Covers archaeological history, theory, and method comprehensively, yet with a reasonable level of detail and in language accessible to students.
  • Presents a balanced treatment of archaeological theory, its various approaches, and the interpretation of gender, ethnicity, and individuality in the archaeological record.
  • Begins each chapter with a compelling story of a real archaeological adventure that expresses the chapter’s main theme and then concludes with a related activity that invites critical analysis or application.
  • Designed for flexible use, the text is brief enough to accompany prehistory or physical anthropology texts, yet sufficiently comprehensive to stand alone.
