Archaeology. A Very Short Introduction

´Very lively indeed and remarkably perceptive -a quite brillant and level-headed look at the curious world of archaeology´ (Barry Cunliffe, University of Oxford) ´It is often said that well-written books are rare in archaeology, but is a model of good writing for a genral audience. The chapters rattle along, packed with information by never getting bogged down in too much detail. The book is full of jokes, but its serious message -that archaeology can be a rich and fascinating subject- it gets across with more panache tan any other book I know´ (Simon Denison, former editor of British Archaelogy)
