Preface
Vere Gordon Childe, one of the most prominent figures of the first half of this century, wrote “A Brief Introduction to Archaeology,” published in the year. The public first received this book forty years ago. Apart from a few minor details, this volume stands apart from its predecessor in every aspect, making it entirely unique.
The primary objective of this booklet is to provide recommendations regarding archaeology. Indeed, this publication solely serves this purpose. The author’s goal is to inspire the reader to delve deeper into the vast array of archaeology-related literature, research, and studies, or, for students, to make informed decisions. Using archaeology as a topic for investigation is the author’s goal. However, in this day and age, when even a “safe” bank cannot promise a job for life, you can have fun while you can, and as the late Glyn Daniel frequently emphasized, archaeology is nothing but fun. Even after completing this course and earning a PhD, you won’t be able to secure employment. However, you can have fun while you’re at it.
While you will need to translate and explore various planets, memorize tedious dates, understand absurd jargon, and engage in combat with fictional Sumo warriors, this experience will also immerse you in the realm of art. aExamples of discoveries include prints, temples, tools, tombs, treasures, remnants of lost cities, cryptic writings, mummies, and more. here are very few individuals who do not go to it for anything that is intriguing or surprising, despite the fact that purists dismiss or disregard such objects as being fake and unrepresentative of modern archeological history. Many people look to it for anything that is interesting or surprising.
When you ask educated individuals in any country on the planet to name a living miner, it is quite possible that not a single one of them would be able to come up with another example other than Indiana Jones. This is primarily due to the fact that Indiana Jones is the only miner still alive. Hollywood derives its power from its unfamiliarity with the past. There is a significant number of professionals and amateurs who are working diligently all over the world in an effort to achieve a better understanding of the past. Despite the fact that the great people of the past are no longer with us, there’s a good chance that we will never see them again.
For those who want to join, this book can help you determine your qualifications. If you are interested in becoming a professional, you have three possibilities: enrolling in a university course in archaeology, enrolling in heritage research courses, or working first in the region or in cultural resource management (in the United States) to gain experience in the field.
All of these options are available for you. If you find yourself unable to perform a task well, you should learn to find joy in performing it incorrectly. It’s possible that you’ll never be a legendary adventurer.
