Reviews

Overall, Summer Farms is an interesting volume that contributes new data on under-studied upland economies and demonstrates the success of applying interdisciplinary methods to the challenges posed by less archaeologically visible lifeways. The volume will be a valuable resource for scholars studying seasonal, and especially upland, agropastoral strategies in any time period. --Emily Holt, American Journal of Archaeology Vol. 122, No. 3 (July 2018)
