'This book links the seemingly remote world of archaeology with the present day. Indeed, the stories of entire groups of people omitted from written texts can be told through the evidence beneath our feet. There are challenges, too, and the authors compellingly sketch some of the biggest risks faced by the discipline' - BBC History Magazine 'Offers a window onto this subject for a readership beyond archaeologists that will help to clarify the discipline’s broader relevance. This is surely a book that everyone should read' - Antiquity
