Feature Summary
By introducing archaeological methods gradually, as they pertain to a thorough, up-to-date survey of world prehistory, the text gives students a more complete understanding of the tools archaeologists use to uncover the past and the reasons why they use those particular tools.
Maps in every chapter show locations of major sites and landforms so students can better grasp the geography of prehistoric settlements.
Comprehensive Case Studies focus not just on specific sites but also on why these sites are important in the broader archaeological context.
Plentiful figures and photos allow students to visualize sites, artifacts, and landscapes.
Thoroughly modern, up-to-date introduction to archaeology includes discussion of the latest research, sites, discussions, and debates as well as the field's historical underpinnings.
