My mom found this at a second-hand store - she's an archaeologist, and like most archaeologists, loves to make fun of archaeology. This book is funny in a very British way. Don't expect to find much in the way of information, it's 95% jokes. Still, if you don't know anything about archaeology, you might learn a thing or two.

Oh my God, I had so much fun with this one!
Lovely little ironic ''guide'' into the "basics" of archaeology. Perfect for people just starting an archaeology class to make fun of your future self and colleagues!
Do not try to pass exams with it, tho - that'll probably turn out bad unless your professor has a sense of humour excellent enough to appreciate it!
Super enjoyable lil book, tho. You'll certainly have a great time with it! The humour is very witty, smart and just hilarious! Totally recommend!
