dc.description	Writing a book about computing almost inevitably includes the inherent danger of built-in obsolescence, especially one that takes several years to ‘mature’ as this one has. I first started thinking about the need for an introductory text on archaeological computing in the early 1990s when faced with teaching the subject to undergraduates. At that time the literature was difficult to access, with the proceedings of the annual Computer Applications in Archaeology conference, a text book that was dating rapidly, and one or two journals providing the bulk of the material. I felt that what was needed was a book that approached the subject according to archaeological interests rather than computing categories such as types of software. I still feel that the best way into the subject is through the archaeology, hence the chapters here are about survey, excavation and other topics that will resonate with archaeologists, rather than topics such as databases and statistics.	-
