Archaeology: The Science of the Human Past provides students with a thorough understanding of what archaeology is, how it operates, and familiarizes them with fundamental archaeological concepts and methods.

This volume introduces the basic components of archaeology, including sites, artifacts, ecofacts, remote sensing, and excavation. It discusses how archaeologists obtain and classify information and how they analyze this information to formulate and test models of what happened in the past. Cultural resource management is described, along with the laws and regulations that deal with archaeology around the world. Archaeology is placed in the context of contemporary issues, from environmental problems to issues affecting indigenous populations.

The sixth edition has been updated and simplified to create a more streamlined volume to meet the needs of the students and teachers for whom it is designed, reflecting the latest developments in archaeological techniques and approaches.

Allowing students to understand the theoretical and scientific aspects of archaeology and how various archaeological perspectives and techniques help us understand how and what we know about the past, Archaeology: The Science of the Human Past is an ideal introduction to archaeology.
