Synopsis

This concise introduction to archaeology has been updated to provide students with a brief yet comprehensive summary of the basic principles, methods and theoretical approaches of modern anthropological archaeology. It is designed to act as supplemental reading for a general course in anthropology. Lucid and free of jargon, "Archaeology" provides an overview of the objectives and processes of archaeological research, and the principles of culture, context, and dating methods. It describes how archaeologists find, excavate and analyze sites, artefacts and food remains with examples from all over the world. New to this edition are an emphasis on remote sensing techniques for archaeological survey, a discussion of gender and ethnic diversity and an assessment of archaeology's role in the modern world. 7
