Enticing introductions provide a preview of the chapters and draw students into the chapter topics by focusing on distinct images or collages of images that convey the excitement of the field.
Fascinating examples of archaeology in action are interspersed throughout the chapters and provide case studies of important archaeological investigations throughout the world.
Unique try-it-yourself projects, which allow students to think like archaeologists, can be found at the ends of chapters and involve students with archaeological data and questions.
Sprinkled throughout the text are three important boxes, which encourage students to consider the overall themes of the text and how they relate to specific chapter content.
Unique content offers students an overall look at
the process of archaeology in Chapter 2 before they move on to the detail of the later chapters,
a substantial section on statistics in Chapter 7, and
a full chapter on archaeometry in Chapter 15.
A host of helpful pedagogical features (including part openers, chapter outlines, marginal quotes, a marginal glossary, pronunciation help, conclusions, study questions, and references) support students with the complex content of the course.
500 spectacular illustrations, including photos, line art, maps (many with orientation globes), plans, and cartoons, allow for great clarity and a stunning depiction of the diversity and splendor of archaeology.
