Editorial Reviews
Review
"He makes us think, and no scholar can ask for higher praise than that."
--PLAINS ANTHROPOLOGIST
"This book consists of twenty-nine papers published over a period of years concerning the research interests of an individual who has made--and will no doubt continue to make--important contributions to the archaeological literature and to archaeological theory....This is...an important book and a significant addition to the Binford canon. It should be read, critically but in no sense negatively; but most of all it deserves to be read by all serious students of archaeology."
--ARCHAEOLOGICAL REVIEW
"This third collection of articles by arguably the most important archaeologist and prehistorian of the last three decades follows Binford's An Archaeological Perspective and Working at Archaeology .... Like all of Binford's work, this collection deserves close reading."
--CHOICE
"To his many admirers he is the greatest archaeological thinker of his generation and a true prophet.... These chapters are full of robust common sense and, as an exercise in debunking theoretical pretention, are a delight to read.... In future histories of archaeology, Binford... certainly deserves a place as a teacher and polemicist, a person who has forced us all to think."
--NATURE
"This book is a 'must-read' for students of both archaeology and anthropology in that it questions the 'taken for granteds' so often indoctrinated into their theoretical frame of reference."
