From the Back Cover

From two of the best-known archaeological writers in the trade, this outstanding resource provides a thorough survey of the key ideas in archaeology, and how they impact on archaeological thinking and method.

Clearly written, and easy to follow, Archaeology: The Key Concepts collates entries written specifically by field specialists, and each entry offers a definition of the term, its origins and development, and all the major figures involved in the area.

The entries include:

  • thinking about landscape
  • archaeology of cult and religion
  • cultural evolution
  • concepts of time
  • urban societies
  • the antiquity of humankind
  • archaeology of gender
  • feminist archaeology
  • experimental archaeology
  • multiregional evolution.

With guides to further reading, extensive cross-referencing, and accessibly written for even beginner students, this book is a superb guide for anyone studying, teaching, or with any interest in this fascinating subject.

5.0 out of 5 stars Essential Accompaniment to Theories, Methods & Practice, 19 Oct 2008
By laubergine (England) - See all my reviews
For students of Archaeology in particular, this Renfrew & Bahn guide to the Key Concepts of Archaeology offers a more technical approach to the popular course textbook 'Theories, Methods and Practice'. Each concept is explained under heading to give you just enough information so as to not bombard you, with a further list of suggested reading. Headings include Feminist Archaeology, Cognitive Archaeology, Agency and even some as unusual as Archeoastronomy, which give an edge to your understanding of Archaeology and even to your essays. Luckily I found this book in a quaint little bookshop in Chester, but even for Amazon's price I'd still fully reccommend it for purchase.
