Companion Encyclopedia of Archaeology
"Designed to be read by students, teachers, and academics working within archaeology or related disciplines such as anthropology, history and geography, who are looking for an authoritative but accessible overview of current thought and practice and developing trends to supplement their existing specialist knowledge. However, I also hope that the book will enthuse and excite the general reader wanting to understand the nature of archaeology and what archaeology has to say about the totality of the human past." |

Concise Oxford Dictionary of Archaeology
"From amphora to ziggurat, and Beaker Culture to molluscan analysis, this comprehensive dictionary, covers the essential vocabulary for archaeological work, including principles, theories, techniques, artefacts, materials, people, places, monuments, equipment, and descriptive terms. The dictionary focuses especially on Europe, the Old World, and the Americas, and covers legislation relating to the United Kingdom and the USA." |

Encyclopedia of Social and Cultural Anthropology
"Readers should think of this book... as a guide and an introduction, a map which will help them find their way around the anthropological landscape rather than an authority set up to police what counts as anthropologically correct knowledge about the world. The readers we have imagined as we worked on the volume include, of course, students and colleagues in university departments of anthropology around the world; but they also include students and teachers in other disciplines--history, archaeology, sociology, psychology, cultural studies among many others--who may feel the need to come to terms with particular areas of anthropological work. Above all we hope we also reach all sorts of people who are plain curious about who anthropologists are, what they do, and what we can learn from them." |
