The Future of Surface Artefact Survey in Europe (Sheffield Archaeological Monographs)

Archaeological field survey has become one of the most potent tools for analyzing human prehistory and history. This volume illustrates surface artefact survey as an important technique in archaeological heritage management and as a data collecting method in academic, problem-oriented, landscape and settlement studies. It demonstrates the importance of surface survey projects and sets out a helpful agenda for the future design of surface artefact projects for European and other landscapes. The spatial analysis of archaeological data may yet bring new solutions, even to problems usually thought to be resolvable only by excavation.John Bintliff is the author of 'The Future of Surface Artefact Survey in Europe (Sheffield Archaeological Monographs)', published 2000 under ISBN 9781841271347 and ISBN 1841271349.
