4.0 out of 5 stars
A great Introduction to Archaeological processes,
By
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: The Archaeologist's Fieldwork Companion (Paperback)
This is a great book for anyone who wants to go a little further than just reading about archaeology. A great resource for teachers or anyone who wishes to participate as a volunteer in an archaeological excavation. WE own an online business called [...] and we make interactive archaeology products, so this book is a key volume that would suit anyone who teaches ancient history in particular an archaeology elective.

4.0 out of 5 stars
Great idea, bad price point.,
This review is from: The Archaeologist's Fieldwork Companion (Hardcover)
This book was a great idea. Dr. Kipfer did a excellent job pulling all this useful stuff together into one volume. It would be the perfect book for students replace their field binder of photocopied notes. Except that the $80 price tag Blackwell put on it, which puts it out of the market. The photocopied binder will cost the student $25, at MOST, and they don't have to worry about getting the binder dirty in the field.
