A pioneering Egyptologist, Sir William Matthew Flinders Petrie
(1853-1942) excavated over fifty sites and trained a generation of
archaeologists. In this short but classic work of 1904, he explains
his vision for the young science of archaeology. Petrie outlines
his processes and goals for an excavation, offering advice on how
to manage workers drawn from the local population as well as
guidance on creating a thorough record of a dig, the importance of
which had not been fully appreciated by many contemporary
archaeologists. His methods were highly influential in their more
systematic and scientific approach to archaeology at a time when
many of its practitioners were more focused on acquiring attractive
artefacts than advancing knowledge. The text is accompanied by 66
illustrations. Petrie wrote prolifically throughout his long
career, and a great many of his other publications - for both
specialists and non-specialists - are also reissued in this series.
