ABSTRACT
Archaeology is one of the most useful tools not only of the historian but also of the history teacher. There is a good supply of books about both its techniques and its achievements, and of studies of cultures using archaeological material more or less explicitly. At the 16-18 level K. M. Kenyon, Beginning in Archaeology is designed for intending entrants to what is now a fully trained profession, and has lists of university courses, institutes, etc. For a wider age-range (about 10-18 y) G. Palmer and N. Lloyd, Archaeology A-Z will be useful as a dictionary-type reference book; it is pleasantly illustrated. T. Falcon-Barker, Roman Galley Beneath the Sea is a well-produced, exciting, even glamorous story which would be a good entry-point for technically minded adolescents; the fascinating equipment and methods of marine archaeology are vividly described in language which could be managed by most 13-16s whose interest has been aroused.
