A Manual Of Field Excavation

Updated for Season Ten, the Tall el-Hammam Excavation Project Field Manual is designed to provide current and candidate supervisors with the latest information about the excavation and data collection protocols and methodologies employed at the site. Every volunteer member of the TeHEP excavation team, along with anyone interested in this exciting excavation project or archaeology in general, is encouraged to read it.

The Archaeologist's Field Handbook: North American Edition is a hands-on manual that provides step-by-step guidance for archaeological field work. Specially designed for students (both undergraduate and graduate) and avocational archaeologists, this informative guide combines clear and accessible information on doing fieldwork with practical advice on cultural heritage management projects. The Archaeologist's Field Handbook presents firmly grounded (pun intended!), essential, practical archaeological techniques and clearly elucidates the ethical issues facing archaeology today. A wealth of diagrams, photos, maps and checklists show in vivid detail how to design, fund, research, map, record, interpret, photograph, and present archaeological surveys and excavations. The Archaeologist's Field Handbook is an indispensable tool for new and aspiring archaeologists as they venture into the field.

An Ideal introduction for novices who want to break into the field and an excellent handbook for experienced amateurs who want to "dig in" deeper.
