Archaeology Techniques and Methods

About this book

It is history that provides archeologists with a reason to dig, but sometimes it is the other way around. Although archaeology began as a treasure hunt, each discovery attracted attention and each new discovery adds a fresh aspect to human history. Archaeology: Techniques and Methods alphabetically lists the methods used by archaeologists to find evidence, for surveying, to dig, identify objects, place them in a time wrap and date them accurately. The book tries to follow the archaeologist in every step he takes to complete his job. It is of immense value to students of history, archaeology and researchers, and general readers.
