About the Book

The process of archaeological investigation is a complex and lengthy one. This book guides readers through the whole progression, from the first idea to the communication of the outcomes to the sponsors and the public. It is divided into three parts. The first part lays out the principles to be followed; the second part the fieldwork and the third part the outcomes, reviewing the way in which the information gathered in the field is processed for prosperity.
