[Brendan · Rating 4 out of 5]

Excellent introduction to the theory and practice of archaeology, although slightly outdated now, Rahtz's personable style and considerable insight into the professional and sociopolitical aspects of archaeology draws you in. Rather than trying to 'wow' you with the vast historical panorama that archaeology, this book offers tell-tale glimpses, case-studies and personal insights from a wise yet humble teacher and practitioner

A surprising wealth of knowledge of the history of archaeology is delivered in a clear manner, full of understated charm.
