Book Reviews of Archaeological Research: A Brief Introduction
Book Review: An excellent readable introduction to archeology
Summary: 5 Stars
I never read a textbook I liked--until now. The book is easy to read, actually _fun_ to read, and full of valuable examples and information. You don't get overloaded with lots of data, but it has enough to give you a good idea of the archeological methods being described. There are lots of real-life examples too, and that makes the text interesting. The best part of the book is that it explains _why_ archeologists do what they do, not just what they do. I read it before going to a field school, and it gave me exactly the background I needed. It would be a great book for anyone looking for a short, clear, and fun introduction to archeology.
