Welcome

This is the companion website for The Archaeology Coursebook, fourth edition.

This newly designed site supports the revised A-Level specification, and has new multiple-choice questions for each chapter to help prepare for exams. Material on conducting an archaeological project is now included online for the first time, and study support materials are available including successful note-taking, developing extended essays, revision activities and exam preparation. PowerPoint slides for each chapter are also included for lecturer use.

‘This is a fantastic book for anyone beginning their adventure into archaeology and an essential tool for students of A level Archaeology. It is both readable and enjoyable and this new edition has some wonderful expanded case studies to bring the archaeology even more to life.’: Alan Hammons, Graveney School
‘Relevant, accessible, informative and engaging. This is an ideal text whatever your engagement with archaeology; be that as an interested amateur, an undergraduate or a student on an A level course. I highly recommend it.’: David Jones, Bridgwater College
‘The Archaeology Coursebook is an outstanding resource for both students and teachers. As an introduction to the discipline it is accessible and provides a clear and absorbing starting point for students beginning their studies. The number and range of the case studies contained within the text cannot fail to excite interest in, and exemplify, the fascinating variety of periods, sites, and techniques present in the study of the past.’: Oliver Lister, Priestly College
‘This book is a great introduction to the wide and diverse field of archaeology … The book provides both a practical guide to archaeological investigation and a detailed summary of key concepts and themes. It introduces the reader to excavation techniques, post excavation analysis and cultural resource management, while also providing examples of how archaeologists have used archaeological evidence to understand the past … . If only there’d been a book like this when I first started digging!’: Tom Dawson, University of St Andrews
