The volume realizes its goals and should stimulate much discussion on this understudies topic. Rapp's longstanding commitment to the provenance of native copper has resulted in a very readable and straightforward monograph that demonstrates the value of multidisciplinary research and the limitless potential of geoarchaeology...this volume will certainly inspire others to build on, replicate, and possible even challenge this seminal work. * Geoarchaeology * My enjoyment, perhaps, is the greatest accolade for the monograph; this treatise on copper sourcing research clearly expresses the universality of archaeological problems and our attempts to solve them. * American Antiquity * . . .a concise, substantive, readable chronicle of their efforts to streamline this specific technique for use on a particular class of raw material and on the prehistoric material culture industry associated with it. It represents a monumental step forward in native copper sourcing studies. * Society For Archaeological Sciences Bulletin * . . .a concise, substantive, readable chronicle of their efforts to streamline this specific technique for use on a particular class of raw material and on the prehistoric material culture industry associated with it.
