Reviews

This is a remarkable contribution worth reading by all those interested in theoretical issues dealing with the two chief dimensions of human perception: space and time. It is a bold and thought-provoking attempt to overcome the conceptual limitations of current discussions on the space-time relationships in the prehistoric past. In short, it really contributes to setting a comparative and integrative framework which transcends boundaries (both political and disciplinary) and rearticulates our understanding of the spatiotemporal dynamics of social phenomena in the past, yielding more sound and nuanced narratives. -Antonio Blanco-Gonzalez, University of Valladolid, Spain
