Book Description
Editorial Reviews
Review
"At last an archaeological vade mecum has appeared at a price to suit every pocket. The Bluffer's Guide to Archaeology should be in every archaeologist's library. This delightful book abounds in ironical insights and wry explanations of archaeological mystique and jargon."

From the Back Cover
The popular image of archaeologists is that of a bunch of absent-minded scruffs and misfits covered in dust and cobwebs. The bluffer will stress, however, with a knowing smile, that this is not always true - some of them are only slightly absent-minded, and a few keep quite clean.
Bluffer's Guides is a series of snappy little books containing facts, jargon, and all you need to know for instant expertise.

This review is from: The Bluffer's Guide to Archaeology: Bluff Your Way in Archaeology (Bluffer's Guides (Oval)) (Paperback)
This is a hoot! Leave it to the Brits! But mostly understandable and hysterical accross the pond too. A worthy complement to "Motel of the Mysteries" in instilling a bit of humility in the trade, and frightfully frighteningly true too.
