Larry Zimmerman is professor of anthropology and museum studies at Indiana University-Purdue University in Indianapolis. William Green is director of the Logan Museum of Anthropology at Beloit College.
This is hands-on archaeology that also promotes conservation and
ethics. Legal issues and cultural resource management are
emphasized as well. All the volumes are written by experienced
professionals who stress the basics and give plenty of practical
tips, case studies, and illustrations. The Archaeologist's Toolkit
is a powerful teaching tool that will prepare its readers for life
in the field.
*American Archaeology*
This series parallels the publisher's seven-volume Ethnographer's
Toolkit in concept and organization; both are user-friendly and
minimize jargon...Highly recommended.
*CHOICE, May 2004*
Seven slim volumes make up this useful compendium of 'how to
practise' archaeology, designed principally for an American student
audience. There is much in these effective books to recommend to
aspiring professionals (and well established ones too) everywhere.
. . . These volumes are sensible, informative and relevant to a
much wider audience thant the USA, even though the exemplars are
based there. They have salutary advice on how to plan, manage,
produce results and survive in this ever more constrained and
demanding world of heritage that we now inhabit.
*Antiquity*
Each volume is authoritative, clearly written and crammed with
useful resources and sound advice...there is much of inestimable
value to anyone who teaches and practises archaeology.
*Times Higher Education*
