“Introducing Archaeology is the perfect text for introductory
archaeology classes. The style of writing is informative
yet friendly, rendering the material accessible to the
student just beginning to explore the field.”
– Patricia Hamlen, William Rainey Harper College
“In a clearly written and
direct manner, and
sprinkled with dry wit,
Muckle provides an
excellent introduction to
archaeology, placed firmly
within the context of
anthropology and succinctly
covering basic
archaeological concepts,
the history of archaeology, and a clear discussion of
archaeological theory.”
– Rob Edwards, Cabrillo College
This concise, straightforward, and economical
text situates archaeology historically

world. It contextualizes the discipline
within academia, industry, politics, popular
culture, and social movements.

with an accessible
introduction to the
intellectual richness of
archaeology today. Brief
introductions and study
questions accompany each

“Not many archaeology books are as useful and well
written, with both faculty and student in mind.” –
Mark Lewine, Cuyahoga Community College, and
Carnegie Associate Professor of the Year, 2006
Designed as a supplement to introductory
texts in archaeology, this reader offers selections
from scholarly journals and books as
well as from semi-scientific periodicals and
the popular press. Readings were chosen
based on their potential to stimulate student
interest, to correlate with core material
taught in introductory courses, and to introduce
students to the diversity of archaeological
literature in all its major forms. Topics
include the archaeology of garbage, the
marking of nuclear waste sites, intellectual
property rights issues, historical archaeology
methods, and archaeological ethics.
