Overview
Archaeology for Beginners offers a crash course in the fundamentals of archaeological work. It is the go-to place for student and volunteer archaeologists attending their first dig, or for anyone with a passion for human history who wants to find out more about what archaeology is all about.As well as including a practical guide to archaeology - covering research, surveys, excavations and laboratory analysis - it also vanquishes many prevailing myths about archaeology that Hollywood has helped to instil within the general public.Myth number one: Archaeology isn't easy. It's a precise science; not a matter of grabbing a shovel and digging at random. But don't let that put you off. Without digging deeper, there's no challenge, and without a challenge there's no excitement... no breakthroughs... and no breath-taking discoveries.
