I enjoyed this book and it fills a gap in academic reading for students…. I believe this to be a good book for students of archaeology at both undergraduate and postgraduate levels, and an interesting read for those fascinated by the mechanics of archaeology…. This book has a most definite place on South African archaeology bookshelves as well as its target readership of North America.
