Opis

Theory in the Pacific, the Pacific in Theory explores the role of theory in Pacific archaeology, and its interplay with archaeological theory worldwide.

Recenzje

"It is also a refreshing antidote to the oversimplifications of recent biomolecular research on the peopling of the Pacific. Thus, among the many recent publications on similar themes, this book should have a long shelf life for those curious about Pacific archaeological research." - Jean Kennedy, Australian National University
