Reviews

Drawing on fields as diverse as archaeogenetics and narrative theory, Writing Remains is a much-needed, truly interdisciplinary excavation of the rich ground where archaeology and literature meet. Moving well beyond the conventional treatment of archaeology as metaphor, the editors persuasively argue for the ethical function of literary and archaeological narrative in examining not only the past but also what it means to be human. With special attention to the role of race in these narratives, Writing Remains has a special urgency for our own time. * Virginia Zimmerman, Professor of English, Bucknell University, USA *
