Archaeology: A Very Short Introduction by Paul G. Bahn
3.0
This book is aimed at someone who does not know much about archaeology and just wants to get their toes wet. Given that it is a "very short introduction", it cannot hope to go too deep, and it does a good job of outlining the important aspects of the subject though.
However, I do feel that the author (a) tries too hard to be funny and (b) denigrates his fellow archaeologists far too often for my tastes. Overall, his jokes fell flat and they distracted me from the otherwise interesting information contained in the book.
