Material Detail

Digging into Archaeology: A Brief OER Introduction to Archaeology with Activities has been a labor of love for us to write, and we are thrilled to be able to share it with you as the first comprehensive archaeology open educational resource (OER) book. OER books are, by definition, available free of charge on the internet and have a Creative Commons copyright, which allows for flexibility for users, who can modify the text for their own noncommercial uses when credit to the original authors is provided (see copyright page for more information).  This book is intended for use in a variety of introductory archaeology settings, such as in lectures and lab courses. This text can complement an existing traditional text or completely replace a standard text. It can be used for its activities or as a study resource. When we wrote this text, we designed the chapters to be brief, providing concise and to-the-point information. This book is not intended to replace lectures or direct instruction from an instructor; rather, it supports learning in a variety of settings and formats. The book can be printed in whole, read digitally, or used piecemeal in either format. However you use this text, we hope that you find it serves as an instructive learning tool and that you dig archaeology as much as we do!
