Archaeology the Basics (Routledge, 2001).pdf

Archaeology:

The Basics

From archaeological jargon to interpretation, this volume probes the depths

of this increasingly popular discipline, presenting critical approaches to the

understanding of our past. A piece of broken pottery will never seem the

same again.

This ultimate guide for all new and would-be archaeologists, whether

they are new students or interested amateurs, introduces its readers to

archaeological thought, history and practice.

Lively and engaging, Archaeology: The Basics fires the archaeological

imagination whilst tackling such questions as:

What are the basic concepts of archaeology?

How and what do we know about people and objects from the past?

What makes a good explanation in archaeology?

Why dig here?

Archaeology: The Basics provides an invaluable overview of a fascinating

subject.

Clive Gamble is a Professor of Archaeology at the University of Southampton

and Director of the Centre for the Archaeology of Human Origins (CAHO).
