“Well-edited and provides rich, detailed material for a comparative analysis of beads world-wide ... The book succeeds in bridging several disciplines, and it should be of great interest to historians, anthropologists, and archaeologists -- and of course to the practical bead enthusiast who wants to learn about the social role of stringed objects.'” ―Bead Society Trust Newsletter
“This intriguing work is very fully and helpfully illustrated and will probably tempt quite a few readers to look out for antique beads on their travels.” ―Oxford: The Journal of the Oxford Society
“Packed with useful information.” ―Bead Society Newsletter
“Beads and Bead Makers is an important contribution to understanding these often overlooked small bits of material culture that archaeologists have tended to take more seriously than ethnographers.” ―American Anthropologist
“This is a book which repays dipping into, each essay providing a scholarly and thought-provoking insight into beads and gender in a specific context.” ―Journal of the Royal Anthropological Institute
“The coverage is broad in terms of time and geographic expanse: neolithic and early dynastic China, Mycenean Greece to the streets of present day New Orleans Mardi Gras.” ―Ornament
