Purchase options and add-ons

Principles of Archaeology provides the building blocks for students to learn how archaeologists think. Retaining its focus on teaching the major methods of thought and analysis and the importance of scientific techniques, this new edition has been thoroughly redesigned and revised to include the most recent technologies and ethical issues involved in studying the past. A new co-author specializing in archaeological chemistry means the book leads the way with coverage of the most pioneering scientific approaches in archaeology, while up-to-date examples show students the complexity of practising archaeology, and how archaeological sites and finds impact how we understand our present and future. Principles of Archaeology remains the most accessible and engaging entry point for those wanting to learn more about this fascinating field of study.

5.0 out of 5 stars Nice little archaeology textbook
Reviewed in the United States on 12 November 2018
Verified Purchase
This was a required textbook for Dr Knudson's class and I enjoyed reading it. I think it pairs perfectly with the lectures and the course material for her class. This is probably one of the only textbooks I've read all the way through and if you take it in 1-2 chapter at a time reads, it goes very smoothly. The case studies were very interesting and all the key words are in a glossary in the back. Good textbook for someone who is passionate about the little details of archaeology. Love that its a relatively short read and you can rent it to save some money which is nice.

4.0 out of 5 stars Good price, great book, but the copy received was poor condition
Reviewed in the United States on 30 December 2019
Verified Purchase
Well written and usable, but the copy I was sent has a large amount of wear and tear on it: compromised corners and binding as well as significantly creased front and back covers as if someone folded it backward. There was also some slight debris inside the front cover, so it was a bit dirty. I cleared the debris, however.
