Easy to follow and useful for GCSE and AS level courses
Very easy to use book.Just follow chapter by chapter and do the exercises and you will learn enough to pass GCSE and AS level courses.The layout is simple and clear.My only criticism is that some of the exercises are at a too simplistic level.
 
An excellent introduction to archaeology
While elements of this book are clearly geared to students taking exams, the level is just right those with a more general interest in the subject. It uses a range of interesting (short) case studies and illustrations to explain the terms and methods used by (T.V. and real) archaeologists. The linked website is also useful.
 
Textbook exactly matched to AS and A level requirements
By the examiners for AS and A level archaeology, this book is an exact match (or we have to assume so) for the detailed requirements of the exam.

These requirements are in places a little difficult to fathom, and this book shows how to approach the exams thematic basis, especially the A level section.

It is well illustrated with cases and site details from across the world.

My only criticism is that some sections are quite long, involving text based descriptions of topics, which can be difficult to digest. A better laid out bullet point approach could have made some of the material easier to understand.

As the only specific textbook for these exams it very usefully fills a gap and should be bought by all students of this syllabus.
