"Archaeology in Practice: A Student Guide to Archaeological Analyses" offers students in archaeology laboratory courses a detailed and invaluable how-to manual of archaeological methods and provides insight into the breadth of modern archaeology. It is written by specialists of material analyses, whose expertise represents a broad geographic range. It includes numerous examples of applications of archaeological techniques. It is organized by material types, such as animal bones, ceramics, stone artifacts, and documentary sources, or by themes, such as dating, ethics, and report writing. It is written accessibly and amply referenced to provide readers with a guide to further resources on techniques and their applications. It is enlivened by a range of boxed case studies throughout the main text.
