Opis

Henderson's illustrated work is an accessible textbook which should be useful reading for practical archaeologists. With clear sections on a range of materials including ceramics, glass, metals and stone, this work examines the foundations of archaeological study. The concise introduction provides a general overview as well as a brief insight into the history of this type of research. Finally, the inclusion of case studies such as Roman Glass and the Stonehenge Bluestones provides an example of how such materials were used in the past and how archaeologists analyze them now.
