Contrary, to the belief of most of the reviewers it is a good book and very useful to theose studying Archaeology, it is especially useful if you happen to study at Newcatle Uni where Kevin Greene himself works and lectures, especially if he takes all of your Archaeology Lectures, as he does with us, as the book ties in with the scheme of work. Even so i bought this book long before i decided to go to Newcastle and it helped me to understand the subject better. Personally this has to be on every archaeology students bookshelf, a winner.

Format:Paperback
Still the best introductory guide to the subject. Greene presents the subjects with typical clarity and economy. Pretty much everything is covered. The book is aimed at first year undergraduates, although older and younger students will find much of use. The book now has a companion website to ensure it is bang up to date.

Format:Paperback
This is a fantastic book, which can be best described as the bible for all lovers of archaeology. As an archaeology student at university I found this book full to the brim with essential information that every budding archaeologist must have.
The book is well planned out and each chapter leads well into the other. When reading the book you can feel your knowledge of the subject build after every page is turned. The book covers every thing from techniques needed in the field to detailed coverage of previous excavations.
One of the highlights of the book is the superb drawings and sketches that break up the book into easy digestible pieces.
In all this is a must book for all that love the subject.

EXCELLENT INTRO. TO BAISX ARCHAELOGY
A basic easy to read introduction to the subject of archaelogy. Can be read straight through - as I did - super makes one want to have more information.

AMS is fundamentally different because it measures the concentration of carbon-14 in a sample (relative to carbon-12) rather than its radioactivity. &quote;
