»
'...powerful and definitive...' – New Scientist
In critically picking a way through the confusing history of ideas and theories, The Archaeology of Ethnicity offers a timely and much-needed synthesis and critique.

'This book is useful because it summarises a long and complicated discussion of ethnicity and attempts to apply it to archaeology.' – ARC
'This is an useful introduction to current social theories of ethnicity and a concise summary of archaeological approaches to it. It deserves to be widely raed and ought to form a springboard for further exploration.' – Antiquity
'This book is useful because it summarises a long and complicated discussion of ethnicity and attempts to apply it to archaeology.' – Archaeological Review, Cambridge
