The new second edition of A Case Study in Archaeology: A Student’s Perspective is a workbook intended to supplement the main textbook/coursework in an entry level anthropology or archaeology class. This text presents examples from an ongoing investigation, the Pambamarca Archaeology Project, giving students experience in what the field is like. A Case Study in Archaeology includes commentary and feedback from real students throughout the book and therefore is written from “A Student’s Perspective”.

This text intends to interest the reader, be easy to read, and be interactive. Students will explore the archaeology practice through critical thinking, discussion, group work, and by expressing themselves both verbally and in writing.
