For over 25 years The Handbook of British Archaeology has been the
foremost guide to archaeological methods, artefacts and monuments,
providing clear explanations of all specialist terms used by
archaeologists. This completely revised and updated edition is
packed with the latest information and now includes the most recent
developments in archaeological science. Meticulously researched,
every section has been extensively updated by a team of experts.
There are chapters devoted to each of the archaeological periods
found in Britain, as well as two chapters on techniques and the
nature of archaeological remains. All the common artefacts, types
of sites and current theories and methods are covered. The growing
interest in post-medieval and industrial archaeology is fully
explored in a brand new section dealing with these crucial periods.
Hundreds of new illustrations enable instant comparison and
identification of objects and monuments - from Palaeolithic
handaxes to post-medieval gravestones. Several maps pinpoint the
key sites, and other features include an extensive bibliography and
a detailed index. The Handbook of British Archaeology is the most
comprehensive resource book available and is essential for anyone
with an interest in the subject - from field archaeologists and
academics to students, heritage professionals, Time Team followers
and amateur enthusiasts.
