Editorial Reviews
Review
In Reconstructing Archaeology, Michael Shanks and Christopher Tilley have produced an essential text for all who are interested in critical theory and post-structuralist approaches to archaeology.
–New Scientist
Shanks and Tilley have created a breakthrough that will touch all archaeology because of the seriousness of the issues it raises. They have written the end of innocence.
