Abstract
The Encyclopedia of Global Archaeology provides a comprehensive and
systematic coverage of archaeology that is unprecedented. It encompasses the
breadth of the subject area along with those aspects that are tapped by other
disciplines. In addition, it encompasses all time periods and regions of the
world and all stages of human development. The entries range from succinct
summaries of specific sites and the scientific aspects of archaeological enquiry,
to detailed discussions of archaeological concepts, theories, and practice, the
social and political dimensions of archaeology and archaeological ethics. The
different forms of archaeology are explored, along with the techniques used for
each and the challenges, concerns, and issues that face archaeologists today.
