Archaeological Site Manual Hardcover - 1990
by Craig Spence
From the publisher
Publication of this third edition of the London Department of Urban Archaeology's manual places their considerable experience within everyone's reach. It has been designed for use in the field and covers the methods and techniques employed by MOLAS in both recording and excavation. It is arranged in sections from simple contexts such as deposits and cuts, through the associated activity of environmental sampling, to more complex features such as masonry and timber structures. Further sections deal with skeleton and coffin recording and finds recovery.' The 1994 edition has new sections on photography, surveying and suggestions for the contents of a site archive. Although it is based on work in an urban environment, it is adaptable to other conditions. A5, loose leaf format. (Museum of London, 3rd edition 1994)

Book Conditions Explained
Biblio’s Book Conditions
-
As NewThe book is pristine and free of any defects, in the same condition as when it was first newly published.
-
Fine (F)A book in fine condition exhibits no flaws. A fine condition book closely approaches As New condition, but may lack the crispness of an uncirculated, unopened volume.
-
Near Fine (NrFine or NF)Almost perfect, but not quite fine. Any defect outside of shelf-wear should be noted.
-
Very Good (VG)A used book that does show some small signs of wear - but no tears - on either binding or paper. Very good items should not have writing or highlighting.
-
Good (G or Gd.)The average used and worn book that has all pages or leaves present. ‘Good’ items often include writing and highlighting and may be ex-library. Any defects should be noted. The oft-repeated aphorism in the book collecting world is “good isn’t very good.”
-
FairIt is best to assume that a “fair” book is in rough shape but still readable.
-
Poor (P)A book with significant wear and faults. A poor condition book can still make a good reading copy but is generally not collectible unless the item is very scarce. Any missing pages must be specifically noted.
