Note(s) : Includes bibliographical references and index
This manual pulls together-and illustrates with interesting case studies-the variety
of specialized and generalized archaeological research strategies that yield new insights
into science. Throughout the book there are templates, consisting of questions, to
help readers visualize and design their own projects. The manual seeks to be as general
as possible, applicable to any society, and so science is defined as the creation
of useful knowledge-the kinds of knowledge that enable people to make predictions
