Industry Reviews
'A student essential' - Current Archaeology
'Popular with students on both sides of the Atlantic ... immaculately fact-checked and proofed ... it is the book's intellectual ambition that really gives it the edge. And it is this that makes Renfrew and Bahn's Archaeology a book that anyone with a strong curiosity about the world around them can enjoy' - Mike Pitts, British Archaeology
