Archaeological research : a brief introduction

Peter N. Peregrine (Author)
Archaeological Research introduces the basic methods of archaeological research, including data collection, analysis and interpretation, as well as considering the state of the field today. With updated sections on geographic information systems and remote sensing strategies, the second edition also greatly expanded its discussion of cultural resource management practices. This popular, concise textbook examines approaches to the archaeological record, sampling and research design, survey and excavation methods and strategies, recordkeeping, analysis of archaeological materials, archaeological dating, presenting results, and research opportunities. It continues to be an excellent text for undergraduate students in basic archaeology courses, field methods courses, and field schools. Book jacket
