The Oxford Handbook of Archaeology Summary

The Oxford Handbook of Archaeology by Barry Cunliffe (University of Oxford, University of Oxford, Emeritus Professor of European Archaeology)

Archaeology is a vast subject - it is the study of human society everywhere in the world, from distant human origins 3-4 million years ago up to the present day. The Oxford Handbook of Archaeology brings together 35 authors - all specialists in their own fields - to explain what archaeology is really about. This is one of the most comprehensive treatments of the subject and of the key debates ever attempted. It is designed to open up the world of archaeology to non-specialists and to provide an essential starting point for those who want to pursue particular topics in more depth.

The Oxford Handbook of Archaeology Reviews

an impressive group of performers... excellent... an even-handed approach is one of the strengths of this handbook * Clive Gamble, Times Literary Supplement *
