Learn how to locate buried artefacts through map regression and the study of aerial photographs. Walk a site to sample the finds turned up by farming or take part in a comprehensive site survey using the latest geophysical technology. With over 300 colour photographs and illustrations, this is a fascinating introduction to the practice of archaeology, and the ultimate practical handbook on fieldwork techniques.
