Summary:(ProQuest: ... denotes non-US-ASCII text omitted.) Reviews Edited volumes on archaeological theory can be difficult for editors to balance as theoretical perspectives may be specific, personal, defensive or combative and may reflect contrasting national and/or institutional backgrounds. The Death of Archaeological Theory? is contextualised by an interesting and wide-ranging introduction written by the two editors, who emphasise a number of key issues that are dissected and extended in later papers. Despite these shortcomings this volume provides much food for thought, drawing attention to different concerns from different archaeological cultures and societies and containing a number of valuable perspectives that are well worth our reflection as they highlight the contemporary state and the possible future of the discipline.
