The Insiders' Guide To Digging Up The Past.
This book takes a look at the role of archaeologists from the discovery of an artefact or archaeological site to the identification, dating, preservation, restoration, and understanding of what has been found. It looks at everything from the most basic archaeological techniques to the latest technological advances used to assist the modern archaeologist, all explained in Ardagh's inimitable and amusing style.
With a glossary of terms in the back, and a section on the stories behind the most famous discoveries, this is a must for amateur archaeologists, young and old. It contains black-and-white illustrations throughout.
