What is archaeology, and why should we do it? Tom King, arguably
the best-known heritage management consultant in the United States,
answers the basic question of every introductory student from the
unique perspective of one who actively uses archaeology for
cultural resource management. Designed as a supplement for
introduction to archaeology classes, this brief and breezy book
runs the reader through the major principles of archaeology, using
examples from the author's own field work and that of others. King
shows how contemporary archaeology, as part of the larger cultural
resource management endeavor, acts to help preserve and protect
prehistoric and historic sites in the United States and elsewhere.
Brief biographies of other CRM archaeologists help students
envision career paths they might emulate. The bookends with an
exploration of some of the thorny problems facing the contemporary
archaeologist to help foster class discussion. An ideal ice-breaker
for introductory college classes in archaeology, one that will get
students engaged in the subject and thinking about its challenges.
