The book is a wonderful resource for the beginer archaeologist. It explains all the terms, tools, and tricks of the trade. It also has a wonderful list of places you can go to dig and companies that will help place you. The only issue I have with it is that it is 9 years old...a newer, updated book would be great because the listings of digs would be updated. Nice photos and diagrams...written with a sense of humor

Having worked as a contract archaeologist years ago, I bought this book last summer to refresh my memory on archaeological procedures and techniques for a summer enrichment class that I was teaching.It was extremely helpful and I would recommend it for those who are thinking of taking an archaeology class.Archaeology is one of those professions that has pershible skills.

This is a very good basic book. It explains almost all of the aspects of archeology. It is very good in explaining things. The book is very complete. Great for the starting archeologist.
