  This third edition has been revised and updated with new illustrations, and expanded to include many developments in archaeology on both sides of the Atlantic. It contains a survey of modern archaeological methods of studying the past, and examines traditional methodology, fieldwork and excavation, as well as recent scientific techniques. Greene also looks at the application of sociological and anthropological insights. He describes basic practical procedures and clarifies some of the complex means used in dating and analysis. Finally, he explores the relationship between history and archaeology, resolving the conflict between modern progress and the conservation of ancient sites.
