Issued by the British Museum in 1920, this handbook tells travellers in the Near and Middle East what to look for and how to record it. Flinders Petrie writes on method, and specialists cover flint implements, Greece, Asia Minor, Cyprus, Syria, Palestine and Egypt, explaining how to recognise settlements, tombs and inscriptions and why sites must be noted and protected rather than plundered.
A window on archaeology at the moment it became a discipline, with contributions from the leading field scholars of the day. Download the free EPUB.
