Newly republished by the Archeological Society of Maryland, The
Layperson's Guide to Historical Archaeology in Maryland clearly
describes historical archaeology, especially as practiced in Maryland.
The 80-page book illustrates basic concepts with examples from various
projects conducted by The Lost Towns of Anne Arundel Project.

A Layperson's Guide is a comprehensive introduction to the 'how' and
'whys' of historical archaeology, covering everything from developing a
research design to report writing, finding sites to excavating them, and
using common mason's trowels to surveying with the latest in advanced
geophysical instruments.

The book is designed with avocational archaeologists, Boy Scouts, and
Girl Scouts in mind, and is suitable for undergraduate courses that
cover historical archaeology. A Layperson's Guide serves as a model for
other handbooks published for general audiences. Single copies: $7.95
plus $2.00 shipping and handling; Maryland residents add 5% sales tax.
Forty-percent discount for five or more copies. All profits support the
