Archaeology: The Science of the Human Past provides an introduction
to the broad and fascinating world of archaeology from the
scientific perspective. Conveying the exhilaration of
archaeological work, it explores the ways archaeologists analyse
and interpret evidence. Varying perspectives are considered to
provide holistic coverage of archaeological techniques and methods
and show how the complexity of the past can be captured by the
empirical science of archaeology. The Fifth Edition has been
updated and revised to include the latest archaeological approaches
and the impact developments in archaeological science have made in
recent years. The chapter on bioarchaeology has been completely
rewritten to reflect these developments. Archaeology: An
Introduction will allow students to understand the theoretical and
scientific aspects of archaeology and how various archaeological
perspectives and techniques help us understand how and what we know
about the past.
