Americans of Pennsylvania is a milestone in North American regional
archaeology...The work is encyclopedic, foundational in nature, and

for regional professionals, advanced students, and serious lay
readers for years to come."
*American Antiquity*
"[A]nyone who has any interest in the archaeological study of the
Native Americans of Pennsylvania needs to own these books....[I[t
is [not] possible to conduct archaeological research in
Pennsylvania, write about it, or even seriously think about
Pennsylvania archaeology without reference to this multi-volume
work."
*Pennsylvania Archaeologist*
"[A]n ambitious and ultimately successful endeavor to present the
current state of knowledge of the Indigenous archaeological record
of the state...This work does an excellent job of documenting our
knowledge in 2020. The Archaeology of Native Americans in
Pennsylvania will long serve as the standard reference for those
working in the keystone state and adjacent areas."
