American Anthropologist The book succeeds as an example of integrating an empirical geoarchaeological approach to a broader set of disciplines and topics...Harrower's book strikes a hopeful approach that knowledge gained from a long-term perspective that values and applies both scientific and humanistic views can help us see the commonalities shared by seemingly antagonistic groups and build towards greater understanding and geopolitical cooperation. I like that. --Geoarchaeology Author InformationMichael J.
