商品簡介
This archaeological textbook, suitable for undergraduate students, was designed to pair with a core text for maximum effect. Muckle (archaeology, Capilano College, Vancouver, BC) presents 29 selections from scholarly journals and books as well as semi-scientific periodicals and the popular press, intended to provoke student interest and introduce a variety of archaeological literature. Each selection contains an introduction providing information on the general topic, the author's and the original publication information, and study questions about the selection. Articles are sorted into five sections: past and present; ethics, legislation, and intellectual property rights; working in the field and laboratory; reconstructing culture history and past lifeways; and explaining things of archaeological interest. An appendix listing periodicals of archaeological interest is included, and the bibliography provides an easy source for quickly ascertaining where sections were originally published, but there is no index to this title.
