Archaeology by Lord Colin Renfrew
This is an introduction to all aspects of modern archaeology. The text explores: ideas in cognitive and "postprocessual" archaelogy; the archaeology of gender and the role of women archaeologists; new methods, such as GIS (Geographic Information Systems), optical dating and DNA research; and recent discoveries - the Alpine "Iceman", the Palaeolithic painted caves of Cosquer and Chauvet in France, the mass grave of pre-modern humans at Atapuerca, Spain, and the pre-Columbian gold finds at Sipan, Peru. The book includes an in-depth case study on a key site in Southeast Asia.Colin Renfrew (Lord Renfrew of Kaimsthorn) is a Senior Fellow of the McDonald Institute for Archaeological Research at Cambridge University, where he is Emeritus Disney Professor of Archaeology. He is the author of numerous notable works on archaeology and prehistory, including Archaeology: Theories, Methodologies, and Practice, which he co-authored with Paul Bahn and is considered one of the classic textbooks on the field.
