Synopsis
A no-nonsense guide and introduction to the practical aspects of archaeological excavation. Aimed at both professionals, amateurs, students and in fact anyone thinking about embarking on a dig, John Collis describes what is involved, why digs are important and what they seek to achieve. Every conceivable aspect seems to be covered, including the organisation of an excavation, recording strategies, the equipment used, what to wear, Health and Safety regulations, on-site and off-site behaviour, and how to approach the excavation of skeletal remains, stone and timber buildings, pits, ditches and banks.
