Reviews

The idea of human prehistory, this volume argues, is 'foggy and misleading'. What happened before written records deserves instead the unqualified status of history. With breathtaking conceptual verve, the wide-ranging papers in Time and History in Prehistory affirm that understanding time is central to archaeological endeavour. The editors must be congratulated on fashioning a global showcase for the last few millennia of deep human history. Clive Gamble, University of Southampton, UK
