The second edition of Cultural Resources Archaeology provides a long-awaited update. The format and style of the revised edition is concise yet readable, making it even more accessible than before to archaeology students seeking the inside story on becoming established professional archaeologists. It should be equally valuable to non-archaeological professionals looking to improve their understanding of best practices in cultural resources archaeology. This volume 'lifts the veil' on the intricacies of archaeological research done under the auspices of compliance legislation and effectively demonstrates how to achieve high quality archaeological results even under challenging contractual scenarios.
