As editor of the first field guide in 1968, I compare that slim volume with this outstanding, compendious and wise advice, which demonstrates the sophistication of present best practice. An essential aid for beginners and professionals.'

Emeritus Professor John Mulvaney

In one volume here is every tool you need to conduct fieldwork in archaeology. Thoroughly comprehensive, The Archaeologist's Field Handbook is designed for every kind of archaeological practice from simple site recordings to professional consultancies for anyone who wants to record heritage sites responsibly.

This hands-on manual provides step-by-step instructions on how to undertake and successfully complete fieldwork in all fields of archaeology, from Indigenous to historical to maritime. More than 200 charts, checklists, graphs, maps and diagrams clearly illustrate how to design, fund, research, map, record, interpret, photograph and write up your fieldwork.

Packed full of industry know-how and invaluable practical advice, The Archaeologist's Field Handbook is the ultimate resource for consultants, teachers, students, community groups and anyone involved in heritage fieldwork.

An impressive tour de force With this volume in their knapsacks, budding archaeologists and consultants won't need any other to undertake fieldwork in Australia.'

Jay Hall, Head of Archaeology, University of Queensland

    5.0 out of 5 stars in love with the book
    Reviewed in the United States on 18 October 2011

    Actually, this book was bought for my niece, so the review is hers:

    I'm studying anthropology in UFMG, Brazil, and last semester I read two chapters from the book to the "introduction to anthopology" course. We had something like two in one courses: intro. to anthropology and to archaeology.
    I found those chapters really enlightening, easy to read, and most of all, easy to understand.
    So I decided do look out for the book, as I will be choosing my emphasis in archaeology.
    Geezzzz!! @_@
    The book is lot more than I expected! It really covers all aspects of the arcaheology field (and covers well),says what to do, and not to do, how to register the findings, and so on. And I might say that when I foud about the photo in illustration part I almost got my breath out. Because that is something I was really looking for, since I'm graduated in Fine Arts, and drawing + archaeology is something I am hoping to work with.

    The book arrived early than estimated! I thought it was a new book because of the excellent condition. It is a required textbook for one of my anthropology course but I really enjoyed it that I decided to buy one as a collection and reference.

    I'm a HUGE archaeology nerd, and I loved this book! I bought it for an archaeology lab class, but found it to be an incredibly entertaining and well-written book. It's not only informative, but funny as well. It makes doing your homework much easier! :) I sold the book back to my school, but before I did I copied some of the pages out of it (including some recipes for while you're out camping!)
