Synopsis
This substantially updated fourth edition of the highly popular, and comprehensive Archaeology: An Introduction is aimed at all beginners in the subject.

*A completely new user-friendly text design with initial chapter overviews and final conclusions, key references for each chapter section, an annotated guide to further reading, a glossary, refreshed illustrations, case studies and examples, bibliography and full index
*A new companion website built for this edition providing hyperlinks from contents list to individual chapter summaries which in turn link to key websites and other material
*An important new chapter on current theory emphasizing the richness of sources of analogy or interpretation available today.
Archaeology: An Introduction will interest students and teachers at pre-university and undergraduate level as well as enthusiastic general readers of archaeology. The stimulating coverage of the history, methods, science and theory of archaeology make this a book which has a life both within and beyond the academy.
