The perfect introduction textbook for aspiring (as well as amateur / armchair) archeologists. I love the layout and organization of this book.

As I wrote in one of my reading progress updates, I'd love to see wider variety of archeological sites (as in, more sites not based in UK) used as case studies if the author or publisher are planning on an international edition in the future.
