Trama

This second edition of the Encyclopedic Dictionary of Archaeology gathers all the terms and techniques in current use in the field of archaeology, more than 9,700 total, up from the original 7,000. The original publication compiled a comprehensive dictionary that addressed both traditional and applied archaeology, the data gathered in the dictionary serves as a resource guide for both the amateur and the professional.

Clustered into 20 categories of archaeological data, this dictionary defines the terms and techniques of archaeology. It describes major premises, important concepts, and scientific methods used in the field. There is a balance of New World and Old World coverage, theory, method, and practice. The original edition’s 7,000 entries was the largest and most comprehensive dictionary of its kind which has now been updated to reflect the evolution of the field.

Authored by a professional archaeologist and lexicographer, this work compiles technical knowledge of the field in a user-friendly format.
