Not much to say about this one - Colin Renfrew's Archaeology: Theories, Methods and Practice is the first port of call for anyone starting an undergraduate degree in the subject. It covers methods, techniques, case studies, stratigraphy, dating, recording, digging, and much much more. Just make sure you buy the latest edition, as Renfrew updates this volume every few years to reflect the latest research. Served me well at university and still useful as a reference. Happy digging!
Required to read this for school LOL but I loved it! Would recommend it for anyone who is interested in learning what archaeology is really about.
Spring semester textbook for my arch class, good textbook, super interesting and great presentation of scientific developments and dating techniques. However, the 6th edition is behind in some of the advances we've made since 2012, so I'm giving it four stars (for example: the mask that Heinrich Schliemann thought was that of King Agamemnon has now been dated to about 300-400 years before Agamemnon's rule, but the book doesn't say this. It lists the mask as "possibly" the king's, because it was written before we could get an accurate date). Would definitely recommend reading the current edition, as it's a well-written and engaging textbook.
