Very accessible overview of all phases of archaeological practice broken down into well illustrated two page spreads. It won't take the place of actually doing the work, participating on digs, etc., but it packs a lot into its 120 large format pages. It does a better job of discussing field practices than it does in raising issues or conflicting viewpoints in archaeology, but there are other resources out there that do a good job with that. If you are an amateur and you are looking forward to your first dig, this will give you an excellent sense of the kinds of work you are likely to be doing.
GREAT photos, Wonderful in its explanations of various tasks in archaeology. Great, pithy wording, REALLY well done,.
I bought this for my grandson for Christmas since this is his future field of college study. Very nice book!!
My grandson loved it! He's an archeologist in training and has every book possible thru his 8 years on this earth! He was so excited to see this book! He started reading it right away!
I bought this book for a beginning archologist, and she likes it a lot.
