520 _aThe purpose of this collection is to make research more alive for students like you who are just beginning to get to know archaeology. [This text] focuses on the way archaeologists find and recover data from archaeological sites and materials. [The text] tries to convey a feeling for the research process, but ... is focused on a particular issue or controversy rather than a method. [It] illustrate[s] how they applied archaeological methods to particular cases of interest to them - from the origins of complex polities in sub-Saharan Africa to gender roles in the Inka empire. [It also] includes two autobiographical articles. [In the text, the editors] hope you will come to appreciate that archaeology is not just an unemotional set of methods and data, but rather a bunch of hard-working, insightful people who employ those methods to answer particular questions about the past.--Preface.
