Review Quotes:

"Intellectually stimulating and enlightening. Without doubt it will inspire further discussion, debate, and research. . . . An important contribution to a variety of fields."
--Marion Dowd, Institute of Technology, Sligo, Ireland, and author of The Archaeology of Darkness

"This book presents a new interpretive viewpoint whose scale is on the order of household archaeology, commoner archaeology, landscape archaeology, and others. . . . The result is a richer interpretation of ancient humans in their lived landscape."
--Mark Mehrer, Northern Illinois University
