## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A good reference guide.
*by S***0 on 10 January 2025*

I am finding this interesting.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A cracking book and good value, but...
*by K***F on 10 February 2016*

...you can do even better!On receiving my copy, I noticed a scrap of text inside informing that this was part of a larger work, and indeed it is - Practical Archaeology: A Step-by-Step Guide. A little research later, and I find that book is about the same price as the Handbook if you shop around. So I bought a copy.It transpires that the Handbook is the first 123 pages of the Guide, page-for-page.To be honest, I'm a bit miffed that the existence of the Guide (which is hardback, 256 pages long, and uses a marginally taller and wider page size than the Handbook) is not mentioned in the product description for the latter. This did sour my view of what is an excellent work, which deserves the five stars. But there again, that equally applies to the work from which the Handbook was extracted.Consequently, the only reason to consider purchasing this edition over its bigger brother is shelf space. The Guide is not small.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Four Stars
