Archaeological Resource Management in the UK: An IntroductionJohn Hunter, Ian Ralston Sutton, 1997 - 277 pages This introduction to the structure and context of archaeology in Britain reviews the vital issues facing archaeologists during a period in which the discipline has become increasingly complicated and diverse.
