Intended as a guide or reader in graduate or advanced under­graduate courses and as a reference for professionals interested in the latest archaeological achievements, this significant compilation of articles dealing with the theoretical bases and substantive accomplishments of contem­porary archaeology provides the coherent theory and concrete results of recent developments in anthropological archaeology.
