N1 - Abstract: "James Deetz explores the principles, methods, and problems of the present-day archaeologist from the viewpoint of how he works, the nature of his evidence and how it is analyzed, and where archaeology fits into the broader scheme of anthropological study. Excavation, radiocarbon dating, form analysis, space-time slope patterns, as well as the context, function, and structure of uncovered artifacts and sites are all carefully considered; and their role in piecing together cultures of the past is discussed."--From book jacket.; “Published for the American Museum of Natural history”—title page; “American Museum Science books”—cover page; Contents: What is archaeology? -- Dating methods -- The analysis of form -- Space and time -- Context -- Function -- Structure -- Behavior -- Archaeology tomorrow.
