Excerpt from A Guide to Archaeological Field Methods The present version contains a considerably enlarged bibliography (section XXII). The works listed are all referred to in the text sections, and stand as illustra tions of methods or techniques described only briefly. The main purpose of this work, therefore, is not to advise the student of a particular method as much as it is to serve as a guide to published materials where techniques are illustrated by concrete examples. Dr. John H. Rowe has kindly approved of our reprinting his excellent article Archaeology as a Career. For permission to republish this article we thank the editor, Mrs. Gladys Weinberg, of the journal Archaeology.
