In this revised and updated edition of his 1989 book, Peter Dorrell provides a comprehensive guide to the uses of photography in archaeology. Drawing on thirty-five years of experience, he examines the use of photography in field archaeology, in surveys, in archaeological laboratories, and in conservation. He offers a clear and well-illustrated explanation of the techniques involved, with sections on equipment and materials, survey and site photography, architectural photography, the recording of different types of artifacts, registration and storage, the use of ultra-violet and infra-red, and photography for publication. He also covers the growing use of video and electronic recording systems.

Industry Reviews

'... should be essential to every archaeological and conservation library.' Michael Corfield, Post-medieval Archaeology 'This is a useful, comprehensive and up-to-date survey of photography in archaeological areas. It is to be recommended to archaeologists and photographers alike.' Gwil Owen, Antiquity 'For technical photographers this book makes a good read; if you may be associated with an archeaological excavation then its value is increased.' Terry Buchanan, The Photographer 'Most archaeologists are self-taught photographers, often using the wrong equipment and techniques for the job. Peter Dorrell's clear description of equipment and problems should put them straight.' P. L. Drewitt, Antiquaries Journal
