I'm taking this class via independent study and this book is a great read! It does not read like the normal text books at all.

The picture on the posting suggested that I would be sent the fourth edition of this text. Nowhere else did it mention the edition, but because the picture was of the fourth edition, I didn't expect the third edition to arrive instead. I returned the item, and was extremely impressed with Amazon's handling of my return. I ended up buying the fourth edition from a bookstore near my university.

This book was said to be in very good condition and it was cheaper than if I had bought it in the campus bookstore. It came in the mail and after looking at it and using it, I can say that it is indeed in very good condition. A great purchase.

The book is a magazine style college book. The magazine style seemed weird at first but has actually been easy to carry & I've enjoyed reading it more than some of my other books because of the format. The information is good and a very basic introduction to Archaeology.

Archaeology: Down to Earth
This book is targeted for a college audience and is quite descriptive of what terms are important and what to look at in the field. Would recommend it to any college professor or student.

This book has some interesting anecdotes, but it can be hard to follow. The topic is VERY introductory.
