Governmental guidelines have forced a dramatic change in the practice of archaeological surveying in recent decades. In response to public and private development, surveying is needed to accurately inventory the cultural resources of a region and provide guidance for their preservation and management. Greg White and Tom King provide a handy introduction to students, field novices, and land managers on the strategies, methods, and logic of contemporary survey work. In addition to providing the legal and historical context for this endeavor the book provides a heavily illustrated, practical guide to conducting a survey to help beginners understand how it works in practice. This volume is perfect for an archaeological methods class, field school, or reference collection.

Archaeological Survey Manual,
By
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Archaeological Survey Manual (Paperback)
A somewhat pedestrian review of field survey techniques, but it covers the principal methods available and provides a relatively straightforwards account of how each is carried out, without going into details of the underlying rationale. A book for the interested amateur rather than archeology students.
