This is the new textbook I am using for this year. It's pretty decent if you are looking for a text that covers both introductory anthropology and archaeology.

Very interesting and valuable knowledge I have discovered about human evolution from this text book. Recommened book for creationists. My own perspective after I read this book is I believe in science, because science is provable, but God is difficult to prove.
