Inhaltsangabe

The archaeological record is a combination of what is seen by eye, and what is revealed with the help of instrumentation. Microarchaeology seeks to understand the microscopic record in terms of the types of embedded information, the material and conditions under which a reliable signal can be extracted.

Críticas:

'I found [this book] so engaging and useful that I read it through with extreme care, rereading and highlighting key passages ... It is a textbook, hopefully the first one in a new subfield, microarchaeology, that will become a required component of rigorous archaeology training at both the undergraduate and graduate level.' Hector Neff, Geoarchaeology: An International Journal
