This book by Edward C. Harris explores the methods, techniques, and recording systems in field archaeology, presenting the Harris Matrix method as a revolutionary innovation in scientific archaeology. The work details the theory and practice of the Harris method, describing the basic concepts of the discipline, the graphic reproduction of the stratigraphy of an archaeological site, stratigraphic recording systems, the construction of stratigraphic sequences, and the analysis of stratification and artifacts. The author emphasizes the importance of archaeological stratigraphy in the formation of levels, soils, and artifacts by human action, differentiating it from geological stratification. This manual facilitates the determination of the relative chronology and the order of formation of the stratigraphy, as well as the recording of its topographic and physical characteristics.
