Summary: We have used this field book extensively in excavations i
Comment: This is a field book rather than a text. Never the less it contains all the basic information needed for field excavation and analysis. We have used it extensively in the field in early Mayan excavations in Guatemala and I have ended in giving many copies to my Guatemalan co- workers. They, by the way, have recently established a proficient team which travels world wide to excavate burials when investgating human rights abuses and they tell me that they prefer it to the other volumes they have vailable ax a quick reference.
