A Case Study in Archaeology: A Student's Perspective

By Samuel Connell and Mary Sullivan

The new second edition of A Case Study in Archaeology: A Student's Perspective is a workbook intended to supplement the main textbook/coursework in an entry level anthropology or archaeology class. This text presents examples from an ongoing investigation, the Pambamarca Archaeology Project, giving students experience in what the field is like. A Case Study in Archaeology includes commentary and feedback from real students throughout the book and therefore is written from "A Student's Perspective". This text intends to interest the reader, be easy to read, and be interactive. Students will explore the archaeology practice through critical thinking, discussion, group work, and by expressing themselves both verbally and in writing. A Case Study in Archaeology: A Student's Perspective: Features data from the Pambamarca Archaeology Project located high in the Andes Mountains of northern Ecuador, investigating the pre-Inca, Inca, and Spanish cultures Provides interactive opportunities to think about, criticize, react to, and engage the material presented Includes exercises to improve a student's critical thinking, deductive reasoning, writing, and communication skills Contains "Instructor's Note" icons throughout for suggested homework and/or class discussion activities
