The Archaeology of Britain is a comprehensive and up-to-date introduction to all the archaeological periods covering Britain from earliest prehistory to the industrial revolution. It provides a one-step textbook for the entire archaeology of Britain and reflects the most recent developments in archaeology both as a field subject and as an academic discipline. Chapters are organized in chronological order and are followed by two-level bibliographies: the first provides core-reading material, the second, a more detailed guide to the subject area.

Hanson, Catherine Hills, Colin Haselgrove, John Hunter, Steven Mithen, Mike Parker Pearson, Ian B.M. Ralston, Julian D. Richards, John Schofield, Paul Stamper, Alasdair Whittle and Ian Whyte.
