Recensioner i media

"This book should be essential reading (and reference) for any student of historical archaeology but even more than that it should be essential reading for all non-historical archaeology archaeologists so that they can understand what it is that we actually do!" (Australian Archaeology) "Historical Archaeology is a deservedly self-assured, forward-looking book that insightfully frames many contemporary issues in ways that will stimulate ongoing research and assist a generation of students to become contributors to the goal of developing a global historical archaeology. It should make its way to the top of your pile of things to read." (Northeast Historical Archaeology)"Reveals the discipline flourished with international growth, acquiring sophistication associated with the best works by archaeologists. This textbook is a major step … essential reading for students, teachers, and archaeologists worldwide." (American Antiquity)
