Over the last two years I have been studying for an A Level (AS then A2) in Archaeology at home whilst working full-time. I did not do evening classes, and did not do any online or distance learning course. I had no prior knowledge of Archaeology other than years watching Time Team. As such, I had no guidance on what to study other than the AQA syllabus which is obviously only a rough guide to subject areas. I bought this book and was extremely glad that I did. It is written by the AQA examiners, and fits the syllabus entirely, including the specific case studies that need to be studied in more detail. It is very easy to read, not too scientific, and makes good suggestions on where to look for more detailed information including a number of useful websites. In addition, there is a very good section on the ARCH 3 module (the project) including what type of proposal for study is accepted, and what type of information to look for. In short, it is well worth the money to show you exactly what is going to be examined and how to gain better marks. However, it is not a dry textbook aimed only at A Level (or first year degree students)and is well worth reading just to gain a better knowledge of the subject if you enjoy the past and want to know a bit more about what they are talking about on Time Team etc. I have since visited some of the places highlighted in my local area that I would not have known about otherwise. In terms of the exam and project, I used this as the starting point for understanding what it was all about, and then did further research in more specialised books, particularly in terms of the case studies to get a wider and more detailed perspective in the knowledge that I was not wasting my time studying subjects unlikely to feature in the exam. As a result, I scored 399/400 overall in the four units which I put down entirely to the excellent material this book provides - thanks to the authors!
Format:Paperback
This was bought for my son as it was the one book his lecturer told us he needed, my son thinks it's easy to follow and helps with his studies (translated from the usual teenage grunts. I have picked it up once or twice out of interest and I find it easy to follow and very informative.
Format:Paperback
My course tutor recommended this book for the Archaeology course I'm doing and I've found it really useful. It is, on the whole, very technical whilst still managing to be fairly concise and useful.
