How to Observe in Archaeology
Suggestions for Travellers in the Near and Middle East
E-text prepared by Philip H. Hitchcock
"How to Observe in Archaeology" by the British Museum is a practical guide aimed at travelers interested in the archaeology of the Near and Middle East, published in the early 20th century. The handbook is designed for individuals who are not trained archaeologists but wish to make meaningful observations and records during their explorations of antiquities, emphasizing the importance of proper methods in archaeological sciences to ensure the preservation of historical data. The opening of the handbook introduces its primary purpose by highlighting the lack of knowledge among non-expert travelers that can lead to the loss of valuable archaeological information. It stresses the significance of adhering to laws related to antiquities and offers guidance on how to effectively observe and record finds, suggesting that travelers should familiarize themselves with the historical context and local regulations before visiting archaeological sites. The preface also outlines the collaborative effort behind the handbook, involving various scholars and institutions dedicated to enhancing archaeological understanding and stewardship among the public.
