Reviews
'The publication of Schavelzon's Historical Archaeology of Buenos Aires provides English-language readers a first look at the culmination of 13 years of excavations on historic sites in one of the most important cities in the Americas. This book provides North American historical archaeologists with an important summary of this work.' Journal of the Society for Historical Archaeology, 35:2 (2001) '...a study which is of local significance, but also contributes to the grander issues. This is indeed a volume that could inspire archaeologists in Britain...' Post-Medieval Archaeology, 36 (2002)
