Methods aims in archaeology
Petrie, W. M. FlInders
Methods aims in archaeology W.M. Flinders Petrie - Chennai Maven 2022 - xvii, 208 p. ill. 22 cm.
Though this volume is a book of reference for those engaged in actual work, yet it will also serve to give the public a view of the way in which this work is done, the mode in which results are obtained, the ends which are pursued, and the important questions which must be considered. We have nothing here to do with the details of the facts discovered; but deal only with the methods and aims, which have been slowly learned in a quarter of a century. Yet every year there are fresh methods to add, and more clear views of the aims; and far more might easily have been said about each of the subjects here discussed.If in this outline there is much more reference to Egypt than to other countries, it is for the reason that most of my own work has lain there; and there is the more need to deal with that land, as more exploration is going on there than elsewhere.
