Archaeology doesn't just happen. With large numbers of people
involved, the complex logistics of fieldwork, funding needed for
projects of any size, and a bewildering set of legal regulations
and ethical norms to follow, a well-run archaeological project
requires careful and detailed planning. In this reader-friendly
guide, Black and Jolly give novice researchers invaluable practical
advice on the process of designing successful field projects.
Encompassing both directed academic and directed CRM projects, they
outline the elements needed in your professional toolkit, show
step-by-step how an archaeological project proceeds, focus on
developing appropriate research questions and theoretical models,
and address implementation issues from NAGPRA regulations down to
estimating the number of shovels to toss into the pickup. Sidebars
explain important topics like the Section 106 process, the
importance of ethnology and geology to archaeologists, OSHA
requirements, and how to assess significance. Archaeology by Design
is an ideal starting point for giving students and novices the big
picture of a contemporary archaeological project.
