BLACKWELL STUDIES IN GLOBAL ARCHAEOLOGY
Series Editors: Lynn Meskell and Rosemary A. Joyce
Blackwell Studies in Global Archaeology is a series of contemporary texts, each carefully designed to meet the needs of archaeology instructors and students seeking volumes that treat key regional and thematic areas of archaeological study. Each volume in the series, compiled by its own editor, includes 12–15 newly commissioned articles by top scholars within the volume’s thematic, regional, or temporal area of focus.
What sets the Blackwell Studies in Global Archaeology apart from other available texts is that their approach is accessible yet does not sacrifice theoretical sophistication. The series editors are committed to the idea that useable teaching texts need not lack ambition. To the contrary, the Blackwell Studies in Global Archaeology aim not only to immerse readers in fundamental archaeological ideas and concepts but also to illuminate more advanced concepts, thereby exposing readers to some of the most exciting contemporary developments in the field. Inasmuch, these volumes are designed not only as classic texts but also as guides to the vital and exciting nature of archaeology as a discipline.
