Reviews

[Provides] a good glimpse of the future prospects of archaeology as a theoretically vibrant discipline and as a mature and responsible way of dialoguing with the material world. The much-needed and revitalized archaeological interest in its empirical basis is leading to far more sophisticated and self-conscious intellectual frameworks. European Journal of Archaeology
