From the reviews . . .

“[A] significant book . . . . [T]his work offers much of interest to interpreters of the American past.”

Elizabeth J. Reitz in Georgia Historical Quarterly

“This collection . . . tackles connections between actor and object within the context of the historical archaeology of European expansion and development in North America.”
Leslie Stewart-Abernathy in American Antiquity

“[A] landmark demonstration of the progress that has been made in interpretation. . . . [T]he book is itself a small gem of material culture.”
Ezra Zubrow in Science
