Review Quote

"...this volume can serve as an introductory textbook for courses in field methods in archaeology, both for classroom work, but more importantly as a supplementary text for practical 'field schools' in field archaeology conducted at many excavations around the world. [...] The lucid, non-jargon-laden and user-friendly text, the many illustrations, and the feeling that the writer is basing what he writes on many years of actual field experience turn this small volume into a real gem."

Aren Maeir, Bar-Ilan University
Review of Biblical Literature (October 2009)
