Archaeology

This guide will help you find reliable information on archaeology, in both print and online sources.

Reference Sources

Archaeology reference sources can be useful for getting a brief overview of a topic or time period, and for placing them in a broader archaeological context. In addition, these sources may refer you to related books, articles, and other helpful materials. Such reference sources are therefore often ideal for beginning your research.

Most print reference sources must be used in the library. Photocopies are 15 cents per page.

The titles listed below represent only a selection of all of the archaeology reference works available through the STLCC Libraries.

Selected Subject Encyclopedias

Subject encyclopedias provide brief overviews of topics, and can be especially good at placing topics in a larger context. Click on a title to find out which STLCC Libraries own the item.
