商品簡介
Banning's (U. of Toronto) text is the first book in the Manuals in Archaeological Method, Theory, and Technique series, and is aimed at professional archaeologists and archaeology students already possessing some familiarity with the field's theory and methods. Coverage includes concepts and methods relevant to investigating archaeological phenomena at the regional scale, common goals of regional archaeological survey, the characteristics of archaeological remains that surveys are meant to discover or document, and how these and the survey design affect the results. The text's focus is on influences on detectability, and three classes of survey prospection, estimation, and the detection of spatial pattern. Annotation c.
