Archaeology In Practice: A Student Guide To Archaeological Analyses is an anthology of essays by learned and experienced authors, written for students and professionals alike. Expertly selected and edited by a Senior Lecturer and an Archaeology Lecturer of the University of Western Australia, the essays cover such topics as finding sites, consulting stakeholders, rock art, stratigraphy, absolute dating, stone artifact analysis, ceramics, plant and animal remains, historical sources, and much more. A smattering of black-and-white diagrams illustrate the studious, serious-minded exploration of practical tools, tips, tricks and techniques. Archaeology In Practice is very highly recommended for anyone contemplating, preparing for, or beginning a career in archaeology.

Used for my uni studies, this book covers all aspects of archaeological analysis; including rock-art, stratigraphy, stone artefact analysis, absolute dating,animal bones, plant remains and more. It is well laid out and a great resource that I recommend for any student studying archaeology. The chapters cover topics from Finding Sites to writing up the findings of your work. 'Producing the Record' has assisted me in writing since leaving uni. I recommend it for anyone in the archaeological field as a resource book.

I purchased this item on the basis that it was "new", however when I received it it didn't seem 100% new as the front page was slightly wrinkled. The inside seemed okay though.
