Thirty-one papers presented to the Interpreting Stratigraphy Conferences between 1993 and 1997 which aimed to provide an informal forum for archaeologists to discuss the problems and potentials embodied in stratigraphic excavation. The extremely varied and useful papers combine broad discussions with specific archaeological case studies and are divided into three sections: Fieldwork organisation, site formation and site evaluation; Recording procedures; Post-excavation analysis and communicating results.
