| Abstract: |
The fourth edition of this work includes extensive reshaping of the text. The author explains the discovery and excavation of sites, outlines major dating methods, explains scientific techniques and examines current theories and controversies. Includes an annotated guide to further reading, glossary, and updated illustrations, case studies and examples; a resources section including web links to related websites, illustrations, museums, archaeological sites, TV programmes, videos, and CD-ROMs; a companion website providing hyperlinks from the contents list to individual chapter summaries which in turn link to key websites and other material; and a new chapter on current theory. |
