Principles of Archaeology

Rate this book

An introduction to archaeology that helps students think like archaeologists


Methods can be difficult to teach in the classroom, with many instructors struggling to devise practical ways to help students understand how archaeologists work. Principles of Archaeology makes its mark by helping students learn by doing archaeological projects, by clear chapter-by chapter coverage of each archaeological method, and through videos that explore different aspects of archaeological practice, including scientific concepts and ethical considerations.


Now in its second edition, Principles of Archaeology has been thoroughly updated, with particular emphasis on making the student archaeological projects more accessible and the e-media more engaging.

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!
