Review:

From the reviews "[A] significant book . . . . [T]his work offers much of interest to interpreters of the American past." Marley Brown in Museum News "This work admirably demonstrates the value of structural and symbolic analysis for the recovery of meaning. For that reason it is a valuable addition to [the] anthropological literature." 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
