Description:	This book is one of the series of cultural heritage manuals which, by providing overview and ‘key-facts’, is intended to help people work as archaeologists around the world. Many people associate archaeology with travel and adventure – not surprisingly given its image in popular culture – and many people come to Britain to learn about and ‘do’ archaeology. Wherever you are, archaeology has certain universal core principles. Archaeology is about exploring society and culture through its material traces, learning about the influence the past has had on the present, and using that knowledge to help shape the future. But despite our networked modern world, many aspects of archaeological methodology and practice are still very localised, and owe a great deal to the culture which produced them.This is the case in Britain, which is not really considered a country so much as a series of connected regions and localities by some people. We have therefore prepared this book to help newcomers to Britain learn how to get along – not just in archaeology, but in some other areas of life as well.
