Archaeology

Archaeology: An Introduction has proved a popular and comprehensive book for beginners in the subject since its first publication in 1983. In this substantially enlarged and updated fourth edition, Kevin Greene takes the reader through the history of archaeology, its working methods, and the latest ways of interpreting the past. In a lucid and accessible style he explains the discovery and excavation of sites, outlines major dating methods and scientific techniques, examines current theories, and looks at the way the past is presented to the public. This new edition will be welcomed by students and teachers at secondary and undergraduate level, as well as enthusiastic general readers.
