The Archaeologist’s Laboratory: The Analysis of Archaeological Data (Repost)

"This book looks like a real boon. Teachers will welcome it; "Where's my Banning?!" will become a common cry among students; and it will be welcome among contract archaeologists and amateur groups too." (Antiquity, 75, 2002)"[…] I use this text in my upper level introductory lab course. [...] The Archaeologist's Laboratory provides the breadth and detail that allows instructors to pick and choose what they want to use. [...]Overall, I consider this to be the best archaeological lab. book on the market. The students all agreed that the text was clearly written and easy to understand. If ordered as a text for a class of six or more students, the price is reduced... In sum, both my students and I highly recommend this text." (Lisa Nagaoka, University of North Texas (Geoarchaeology, An International Journal, 17:8, 2002)"Banning has succeeded admirably well in producing a fine work for his target audience. [...]Banning's clear writing style and ability to boil down challenging concepts so that they are easily understandable for the undergraduate student (and the professors who must instruct them!) make this an immensely useful reference tool." (Randall W. Younker, Andrews University (Bulletin of the American Schools of Oriental Research, 328, 2002)
