Review Quotes:
"In summary, I would recommend this book to anyone wishing to have an up-to-date and interesting discussion of societal complexity, complex theory and social systems approaches. The author has successfully taken a very difficult topic and highlighted its key tenets in a largely accessible format, whilst also advocating for valuable methods to apply for processing the different range of archaeological evidence we are left with through which we must reconstruct past social complexity." - Clare Burke, Archaeologia Austriaca
