”A
stimulating source of ideas, and a conspectus
of
how broadly and deeply many
archaeologists are thinking about the way their discipline relates to the modern world”
Times Higher Education Supplement
“This book is clearly organized and the material presented in a fair and often innovative
manner.”
Bryn Mawr Classical Review
“This volume presents a refreshingly wide set of topics, covered by an impressive and
authoritative array of authors. This is archaeology understood in its broadest terms.
Theory and method, ethics and practice, distant ages and recent moments, links to other
disciplines, are all explored in this impressive and accessible collection.”
Ian Hodder,
Stanford University
“Bintliff has assembled a broad array of talented archaeologists, who present us with a
rich portrait
of
contemporary archaeology. Technical yet easily accessible, this important
book offers a thought-provoking analysis of many of archaeology’s most pressing
controversies. Both students and interested laypeople will find this a satisfying journey
though the complexities of a rapidly changing, increasingly multidisciplinary
archaeological world.”

This book is dedicated to my dear wife Elizabeth, and to our equally
dear children, David, Esther, and Aileen, who all had to cope with my
lengthy periods of preoccupation and absence when I was toiling at its
creation.
