This book has been written as a practical introduction to the subject of archaeology and as a handbook to all the most important areas of archaeological investigation and recording. The book sets out the many different kinds of evidence used in archaeological work and describes how the evidence is obtained, recorded and used. The landscape, both rural and urban, constitutes a vital historical document. It can be unravelled by observation, excavation and recording. In this easily approachable but rigorous work, Dr Wilkinson takes his readers on a step-by-step course on how to learn to do just that.
