About The Textbook:This textbook concisely summarizes and gives enough details of Archaeology.Each section within the textbook does a great job of highlighting and detailing the major events and important concepts of the development of how modern societies are today (Basics of Archaeology, Human Evolution, Agriculture, and Development of Complex Societies).I recommend buying this textbook if you're interested in learning a "quick" summary and outline of Archaeology.

Well organized and thoughtfully edited. A good text with many picture and table examples in appropriate locations to support the statements.

Really nice condition

Arrived on time, needed for a class and does the job perfectly.

Loved this book for my Ancient Archaeology class!
