A must have! - By: P. Sims, 21 Jul 2007 
If your an archaeologist or a student of archaeology then dont go anywhere without your copy, trust me you wont regret it!
Excellent - By: Mr. T. Hill, 21 Jun 2007 Cannot recommend this book too highly, really superb. Unfortunately, for reasons best known to themselves, the Open University did not choose this as their set book for the 1st year of their Classics MA but chose the Kevin Greene book instead, about which the less said the better. If you are a first year archaeology student or just interestedin archaeology & you have a choice please buy this book before any other on archaeology, you won't regret it.
Keep to hand - By: Mature student, 20 May 2007 If you are considering studying archaeology or if you have a serious interestin it then this book will never leave your side. It is recommended reading by many teachers of the subject. The clear index means that you do not have to read the book from cover to cover, instead you can use the considered overview as a starting point for your further research.
I have used this book from undergrad to postgrad work, it is still my first port of call.
Excellent - By: Mrs. A. M. Chadwick, 07 Mar 2007 I have been to Egypt, the first time wasin 1993, & I made my mind up that I'd like to study Egyptology.
Althoughin my second year of studying Egyptology, during my first year this was one of my study books.
This book cover ever aspect of Theories, Methods & Practice you can think of, it's a very in-depth read, sometimes you may have to read a chapter twice for the information to sink in, (I know I did).
But I must warn you this book is pretty heavy to pick up, don't do what I did, I got hold of it the wrong way with just one hand & I sprained my wrist,(I'm NOT kidding), so mind how you pick up this heavy book up.
It makes an excellent edition to my little Egyptian library, which now stands at nearly 1000 books on this subject. :-)
Essential University Reading - By: Mr. A. T. Young, 15 Apr 2005 
If you are studying (or plan to study) archaeology at university, this book is a must. It gives a great overview of contemporary archaeological practice & uses excellent case studies throughout. It is basically the first book you turn to if you want to know about Anything archaeological, & will guide you to the right places to go for more in-depth coverage of subjects. It is a great book.
