Retaining its position as the most authoritative introduction to archaeology, written by renowned archaeologists Colin Renfrew and Paul Bahn, this Eighth Edition of Archaeology: Theories, Methods, and Practice is even more engaging, with greater coverage of indigenous archaeology and pioneering women in the discipline. Also new to this edition is InQuizitive for Archaeology, an easy-to-use adaptive learning tool that helps students master key concepts and come to class better prepared.
