Archaeology: An Introduction - 4th Edition 2002
The Online Companion: updated November 2007


 

Welcome to the electronic companion to Archaeology : An Introduction - an introductory book about archaeology for students, or anyone else who would like to start learning about the subject. The book is by Kevin Greene, a Reader in Archaeology at the University of Newcastle in the UK.

         This site has undergone extensive revision and expansion during late 2007 - all chapters now have many new links.

This site contains links to web resources, archives and documents that relate to areas covered by the book. They are organised according to the book's chapters and headings. Obviously not all of the section headings have directly useful WWW links, but I have left them in place to allow additions. The menu on the left of your screen is there to help you navigate your way around the site. If you are using a particular chapter of the book, you can quickly find links related to the section you are reading. Otherwise, you can browse through the chapter headings to find the subject you want. This new website is for the revised fourth edition of the book published in 2002, but if you have the 1995 edition you can still access the old website; it has not been updated since 2001, however.

If you've bought my book - thanks; if not but you think you may be interested, this is what the cover looks like. You can also find details in Amazon, or click on the Routledge logo to see the publisher's details. Information about ordering online from the publishers can be found here.

If you are new to using the Internet, look at a helpful introductory article by Steve Platt - ARCHAEOLOGY ON THE WEB - on the Channel 4 Time Team site.

I am very interested to receive any comments or suggestions you have about this site, so please take the time to email me at the address kevin.greene@ncl.ac.uk. If you find any dead links I would also be very grateful if you could let me know - sites appear, move and disappear from time to time.
