More copies of this ISBN:Lessons From the Past : an Introductory Reader in Archaeology (99 Edition)by Kenneth L. Feder
Synopses & ReviewsPlease note that used books may not include additional media (study guides, CDs, DVDs, solutions manuals, etc.) as described in the publisher comments.
Publisher Comments:This supplementary reader offers 39 articles and biographical sketches that demonstrate how the study of the past can make a genuine contribution to our understanding of the present. Book News Annotation:This introduction into the field of archaeology is designed to show
beginning students how archaeology is applied. The articles are
divided into six thematic parts, examining such topics as how
studying past societies can help us gain insights into the present;
how archaeology can provide a voice for marginalized peoples that
might otherwise remain voiceless; how using archaeology can solve
historical puzzles; how can archaeologists know what they are looking
at; and how the methodology of archaeology has been used to solve
crimes. In each section there are articles showing how archaeology
has been applied in a variety of circumstances, as well as an
autobiographical article describing a variety of archaeologists' own
interests and pursuits.
