Review Quotes:
'This is the most intelligent and thought-provoking book on archaeological fieldwork I have read. It is full of numerous insights and re-evaluations and genuinely bridges the split between theory and practice that so disables archaeology...for those committed to a thoughtful archaeological practice, this book is long overdue and essential reading' Michael Shanks, Stanford University
