1. Archaeology: Theories, Methods and Practice by Colin Renfrew

The list author says:
	"Once my coursebook-bible, now better regarded as a work to surpass - its chapter-specific style remains deeply outdated and its theory based more on habit than scholarship but as a science guide - 5/5"

2. Archaeology: An Introduction by Kevin Greene

The list author says:
	"More site practical, making it a valuable read for the excavtion focused student in a way Time Team can't match - however, again, is uncritically founded upon 19th century science's view of the world"

3. Prehistoric Britain by Timothy Darvill

The list author says:
	"Ditto - additionally Prof. Darvill's book, now factually out of date, should not, in all honesty still be in print. Given the quality and volume of his work since, I feel he would agree"

4. The Archaeology of Disease by Charlotte A. Roberts

	"Disease!! This fired my imagination and enthusiasm for forensics - you'll be amazed by what the dead can tell us. This is science in its place, it informs archaeology, it does not dominate it."

10. The Modern Antiquarian: A Pre-millennial Odyssey Through Megalithic Britain : Including a Gazetteer to Over 300 Prehistoric Sites by Julian Cope

12. Britain BC: Life In Britain and Ireland before the Romans by Francis Pryor

The list author says:
	"I have mixed feelings about Pryor's work, as one of the UKs most senior archaeologists he certainly has the ability to get his own way(eg seahenge debacle) and so how will HE blend TVarch and science?"
