About the Book

This text reviews the theory, concepts, and basic methods involved in archaeological analysis. Its aim is to familiarize both students and professionals with the principles that underlie many kinds of archaeological analysis, to encourage sound laboratory practice, and to demonstrate some of the common theoretical issues that different kinds of analyses all share.; Banning opens with a discussion of the nature and presentation of - and the errors in - data and briefly reviews archaeological systematics, database and research design, sampling and quantification, modelling data, and basic artifact handling and conservation. Chapters on lithics, pottery, faunal, botanical, and soil remains follow and chapters on seriation, interpreting dates, and archaeological illustration close out the book.; Intended as a text for students in upper-division undergraduate and graduate-level courses as well as a manual for professional researchers and cultural resource management practitioners, the book is abundantly illustrated and referenced and includes a glossary of key terms. Suggested laboratory exercises to accompany the text are available on a Web site.

Review :
"Antiquity" Reviews Editor's LaurelsThis book looks like a real boon. Teachers will welcome it; "Where's my Banning?!" will become a common cry among students; and itwill be welcome among contract archaeologists and amateur groupstoo.'Antiquity, 75 (2002)...I use this text in my upper level introductory lab course.... "The Archaeologist's Laboratory" provides the breadth anddetail that allows instructors to pick and choose what they want touse. ...Overall, I consider this to be the best archaeological lab.book on the market. The students all agreed that the text was clearlywritten and easy to understand. If ordered as a text for a class ofsix or more students, the price is reduced... In sum, both my studentsand I highly recommend this text.'Lisa Nagaoka, University of North Texas in Geoarchaeology, An International Journal, 17:8 (2002)Banning has succeeded admirably well in producing a fine workfor his target audience. ...Banning's clear writing style and abilityto boil down challenging concepts so that they are easilyunderstandable for the undergraduate student (and the professors whomust instruct them!) make this an immensely useful referencetool.'Randall W. Younker, Andrews University in Bulletin of theAmerican Schools of Oriental Research, 328 (2002)
