In addition, all chapters have been comprehensively revised to take account of developments from within this fastΓÇôpaced field, in the intervening years between publications. References and figures have also been updated throughout. This highlyΓÇôregarded and awardΓÇôwinning textbook (Winner of the 2010 Prose Award for Archaeology and Anthropology) retains the character and features of the previous edition.
