Reviews

"The authors build upon Robert Dunnell's 1978 evolutionary definition of the term and demonstrate decisively that style and function are theoretically distinct as well as critical to evolutionary archaeology....The insightful papers in this volume should encourage students and professionals alike who are frustrated by the current state of disarray in archaeological theory. This collection will be influential in keeping Robert Dunnell's vision of an evolutionary archaeology alive and in stimulating further exploration of the fundamental dichotomy of style and function."-William S. Dancey Associate Professor of Anthropology Ohio State University
