5.0 out of 5 stars intellectual adventure!, July 3, 2002

By A Customer

This review is from: A History of American Archaeology (Hardcover)

As a grad student with a BA in Anthro and an MS in Physics,
I'm a connoisseur of fine science writing. This book is
superb! The reader can appreciate the development of New World
archaeology as an intellectual quest and adventure, expanding our perceptions of the past and who we are.

This review is from: A History of American Archaeology (Paperback)

This book tends to focus on American Archaeology, especially the American Southwest. It is well written and informative but in many places is very dry. Overall, this is a good text for a classroom.
