Principles of Archaeology
This new text offers an engaging, straightforward, and profusely illustrated introduction to archaeological method and theory.

Each chapter offers an enticing mix of clear and thorough discussion of essential topics, provocative case studies, and practical applications that allow students to think like archaeologists.

This book helped me realize that archaeology was not for me, I find it incredibly dull, and I had a hard time finished my assigned readings because 5 pages in and I would be fast asleep. Recommended for anyone that also has no interest in archaeology but maybe is suffering from insomnia--it is a great sleep aid!
