The most wide-ranging, comprehensive, and up-to-date dictionary of
archaeology available. Over 4,000 entries cover the terms
encountered in academic and popular archaeological literature, in
lectures, and on television. Topics covered include artefacts,
techniques, terminology, people, sites, and periods, and specialist
areas such as industrial and maritime archaeology. The second
edition is fully revised and updated, now including 150 new entries
on archaeological sites, terms, movements, and people, plus
extended coverage of archaeological resource management and
archaeological theory. The dictionary's primary focus is on Europe,
the Old World, and the Americas, as these are the regions where
archaeology has become an established academic and vocational
subject, but it includes key archaeological sites around the world.
A quick-reference section covers chronological periods around the
world, Egyptian rulers and dynasties, Roman rulers and dynasties,
rulers of England to AD 1066, and principal international
conventions and recommendations. New to this edition, recommended
web links for over 100 entries are updated on the Dictionary of
Archaeology companion website.
