Summary:

Known for being an accessible and authoritative introduction, "Archaeology" has been updated in the Ninth Edition to include new discoveries in archaeology, innovations in field and laboratory methods, as well as covering the latest developments in archaeological theory, from ontologies to Indigenous archaeology. Collaborating with Colin Renfrew and Paul Bahn, new co-author, Elizabeth DeMarrais updates earlier editions' clear presentation of archaeology's history, theory and ethics. The contributions made by women, people of colour, and Indigenous communities to the study of the human past are highlighted. Sections on the safeguarding of intangible cultural heritage and the changing role of museums are included. The Ninth Edition also includes broader coverage of approaches to identity, ethnicity, and the archaeology of the modern world.
