This second edition of the Encyclopedic Dictionary of Archaeology gathers all the terms and techniques in current use in the field of archaeology, more than 9,700 total, up from the original 7,000. The original publication compiled a comprehensive dictionary that addressed both traditional and applied archaeology, the data gathered in the dictionary serves as a resource guide for both the amateur and the professional.

It describes major premises, important concepts, and scientific methods used in the field. There is a balance of New World and Old World coverage, theory, method, and practice.
