Reviews

Although the underlying theories and approaches of these authors are at times different from Western models, a lot of valuable information and important new fieldwork is reported on a phenomenon that challenges our expectations, regardless of theoretical background. Collaborative projects such as this must be applauded and can only improve our joint understanding. -- David W. Anthony Antiquity, Vol. 87, Issue 338, Dec 2013
