Discovering Our Past: A Brief Introduction to Archaeology
As children, many of us learn to associate archaelogoists with adventurous exploits and searches for long-lost civilizations in exotic places. As adults, our associations of archaeology with adventure are often strenghtened when we see and hear stories in the media about fantastic archaelogical finds. But what is it that archaeologists actually do on a normal workday in the field? This book corrects some of the popular myths about archaeologists and archaeology and explains what archaeologists really do, and how they do it. We begin with a brief overview of archaeology, how it grew over the past few centuries, and how archaeologists today use various means to attempt to discover the past. The remainder of the book is organized to follow the steps of actual archaeologists research.
