Containing close to 3,000 words and definitions, the "Dictionary of Artifacts" is an indispensable reference for anyone working within the field of archaeology. Written in accessible language, each entry details the specific artifact's classification and typology; raw materials; methods and techniques used to create artifacts; principles and techniques of examination and identification; and instructions for the care and preservation of specimens. Along with a headword and definition, many of the entries are accompanied by drawings or photographs. |
