Reviews / Votes
"A useful summary of the historical development of many of the main dating methods currently in use in North America."-CHOICE "Revealing in a non-tedious way how the most commonly used dating techniques in North American archaeology have affected the interpretations of indigenous peoples. The volume is a valuable addition to the growing number of treatises in the history of North American archaeology."
-Journal of Middle Atlantic Archaeology "Writing for the uninitiated is not something that most of us are good at, and it is the sign of a good editor...that he or she can sand the rough spots, fill in the low spots, and produce a readable, and enjoyable, edited book. I recommend it as a text at both the undergraduate and graduate levels, especially in classes that focus on archaeological method, and as a book that should be rad from time to time by all archaeologists."
