The future References Index FROM THE COVER CAMBRIDGE MANUALS IN ARCHAEOLOGY Series editors Don Brothwell, University of York Graeme Barker, University of Leicester Dena Dincauze, University of Massachusetts, Amherst Ann Stahl, State University of New York, Binghamton Cambridge Manuals in Archaeology are reference handbooks designed for an international audience of professional archaeologists and archaeological scientists in universities, museums, research laboratories, field units, and the public service. Each book includes a survey of current archaeological practice alongside essential reference material on contemporary techniques and methodology. In this revised and updated edition of his 1989 book, Peter Dorrell provides a comprehensive guide to the uses of photography in archaeology. Drawing on thirty-five years of experience, he examines the use of photography in conservation, in surveys, in field archaeology, and in archaeological laboratories. He offers a clear and well-illustrated explanation of the techniques involved, with sections on equipment and materials, survey and site photography, architectural photography, the recording of different types of artifacts, registration and storage, the use of ultra-violet and infra-red, and photography for publication. He also covers the growing use of video and electronic recording systems. This book will be essential reading for students of archaeology and conservation, for professional and amateur archaeologists with only a little knowledge of photography, and also for competent photographers who would like to use their skills in the field of archaeology. REVIEWS = 'This is a useful, comprehensive and up-to-date survey of photography in archaeological areas. It is to be recommended to archaeologists and photographers alike.' = Gwil Owen, Antiquity REVIEWS = 'For technical photographers this book makes a good read; if you may be associated with an archaeological excavation then its value is increased.'= Terry Buchanan, The Photographer REVIEWS = ' ... should be essential to every archaeological and conservation library.' Michael Corfield, Post-medieval Archaeology REVIEWS = 'Most archaeologists are self-taught photographers, often using the wrong equipment and techniques for the job. Peter Dorrell's clear description of equipment and problems should put them straight.' P. L. Drewitt, Antiquaries Journal Peter Dorrell is Lecturer in Archaeological Photography at the Institute of Archaeology, University College London. He is also the Associate Director of the British Museum excavations at Tell-es-Sa'idiyeh in Jordan. The first edition of his book, Photography in archaeology and conservation (Cambridge), was published in 1989. MORE ABOUT == Archaeology or archeology[a] is the study of human activity through the recovery and analysis of material culture. The archaeological record consists of artifacts, architecture, biofacts or ecofacts, sites, and cultural landscapes. Archaeology can be considered both a social science and a branch of the humanities.[ In Europe it is often viewed as either a discipline in its own right or a sub-field of other disciplines, while in North America archaeology is a sub-field of anthropology. Archaeologists study human prehistory and history, from the development of the first stone tools at Lomekwi in East Africa 3.3 million years ago up until recent decades. Archaeology is distinct from palaeontology, which is the study of fossil remains. Archaeology is particularly important for learning about prehistoric societies, for which, by definition, there are no written records. Prehistory includes over 99% of the human past, from the Paleolithic until the advent of literacy in societies around the world. Archaeology has various goals, which range from understanding culture history to reconstructing past lifeways to documenting and explaining changes in human societies through time. Derived from the Greek, the term archaeology literally means “the study of ancient history.” The discipline involves surveying, excavation and eventually analysis of data collected to learn more about the past. In broad scope, archaeology relies on cross-disciplinary research. Archaeology developed out of antiquarianism in Europe during the 19th century, and has since become a discipline practiced around the world. Archaeology has been used by nation-states to create particular visions of the past. Since its early development, various specific sub-disciplines of archaeology have developed, including maritime archaeology, feminist archaeology and archaeoastronomy, and numerous different scientific techniques have been developed to aid archaeological investigation. Nonetheless, today, archaeologists face many problems, such as dealing with pseudoarchaeology, the looting of artifacts, a lack of public interest, and opposition to the excavation of human remains.
