"The volume is undoubtedly comprehensive in its coverage. It has
entries that cover not only the expected topics, major sites,
cultures, countries, and archaeologists, and key methods and
techniques, but also much that is not found in most "encyclopaedic"
books on archaeology....Backed up by 24 pages of close-set index,
the volume provides a readily accessible source of information on
just about anything archaeological that the reader might wish to
pursue."--AJA Book Reviews "This is an important reference, an
absolutely wonderful browsing book, and an extremely good starting
point for those beginning to research almost any of the fascinating
topics associated with archaeology."--Richard B. Lane, Science
Books & Films
"Authoritative, well written, and the only recent work of its kind.
This companion fills a gap in the reference literature for
archaeology and should be purchased for all reference
collections."--Library Journal
