Drewett, Peter L.
Field Archaeology

An Introduction. Second Edition.

Peter Drewett's comprehensive survey explores every stage of the dig process, from the core work of discovery and excavation to the final product; the published archaeological report. Since its first publication, this book has proved to be a key handbook for all those undertaking introductory courses in archaeology or volunteering on their first excavation. In this revised second edition, key developments in technology, theory and changes in the law are included, bringing it up to date with the most recent fieldwork practices. The main topics are: How an archaeological site is formed; Finding and recording archaeological sites; Planning excavations, digging the site and recording the results; Post-fieldwork planning, processing and finds analysis; Interpreting the evidence. Illustrated with almost 100 photographs and line drawings, and using numerous case studies, this second edition of Field Archaeology ensures it will remain the essential introductory guide for archaeology students and the growing number of enthusiasts for the subject.
