Description: After Collapse blazes new research trails in both archaeology and the study of social change, demonstrating that archaeology can offer more clues to the "dark ages" that precede regeneration than text-based studies. It opens up a new window on the past by shifting the focus away from the rise and fall of ancient civilizations to their often more telling fall and rise.
Review Quotes: "The impact of this book will be long-lasting, as each of the studies are quite impressive new analyses of recent archaeological studies."--Jonathan Kenoyer, University of Wisconsin, Madison
