Reference Books in Archaeology
This category of books includes reference works for all of us archaeo-nuts, including encyclopedias and overviews, biographies and histories of archaeology, and travel references.
Top Picks: Archaeologist Biographies
I love a good biography, and fortunately there have been several good biographies of archaeologists in the last few years. Also in this class of book are lumped histories of archaeology.
Top Picks: Encyclopedias
This category is made up of my professional secret stash of encyclopedias and overviews. While supplemented by frequent trips to the library, this group is still the backbone of the Archaeology website at About.com, and is guaranteed to help anyone get familiar with a broad bariety of topics.
Top Picks: Travel Guides
I don't know of very many of these guides, but I certainly appreciate the fact that they exist! Look for more to appear here in the future.
