Although several manuals on fieldwork techniques exist, and
although most definitions of archaeology would specify excavation
and fieldwork as the core of archaeological enquiry, this book is
the first to undertake a comparative assessment of how such
techniques are taught to university students in many different
parts of the world. This book is the result of a three-day
international conference held by the International Centre for
Chinese Heritage and Archaeology (ICCHA) in Beijing in 2006. The
contributors, who come from many parts of the world - Africa,
Australia, India, Southeast Asia, South and North America and
Europe - present strong arguments on the core theme, concepts of
the past, and describe fieldwork practices and teaching in their
own countries.This is a ground-breaking work both in its
theoretical breadth and range of practical information. It will be
invaluable to students and teachers of archaeology and heritage
management, educationalists and historians. Contributors include J
O Aleru, Brigitte Cech, Sarah Colley, Rafael Cruz Antillon, Caleb
Adebayo Folorunso, Dorian Q Fuller, Luan Fengshi, Marta Luciani,
Arkadiusz Marciniak, Timothy D Maxwell, Gustav Milne, Surapol
Natapintu, Mike Parker Pearson, Dominic Perring, Innocent Pikirayi,
Qin Ling, Stephen Shennan, B J Tubosun, Peter Ucko, Wang Tao,
Gamini Wijesuriya, Seonbok Yi, Zhang Chi, Zhao Hui, and Zhao
Zhijun.
