"[I] think that every instructor of North American prehistory
should own this book, because I think it will enrich their lectures
and widen their perspectives, whether they agree with the positions
taken by the authors or not." (Journal of the Royal Anthropological
Institute, September 2008)
"North American Archaeology generally achieves its aims; it is an
easy read and explains many key concepts in an approachable way for
upper level students." (Australian Archaeology)
