Description
Archaeology: An Introduction provides an engaging and accessible exploration of the subject, tracing its development from an amateur pursuit in the 18th century to a serious discipline. The authors explain how new discoveries are evaluated using established methods and theories, while also incorporating their own fieldwork and research. This updated sixth edition includes coverage of recent trends in interpretation, as well as new developments in survey and imaging techniques, dating, DNA analysis, isotopes, and population movement. It also addresses the ethical considerations surrounding these techniques and explores contemporary issues in archaeological theory, including the material turn/ontological turn and work on equality, diversity, and inclusion. The book includes a new chapter on archaeology in the present, covering topics such as heritage and public archaeology, as well as an updated consideration of archaeology's relationship with the climate crisis. With its clear explanations, colour illustrations, and boxed topic sections, Archaeology: An Introduction is designed to support students studying Archaeology at an introductory level.
