World Archaeological Congress Research Handbooks in Archaeology

Series Editors: George Nicholas (Simon Fraser University) and Julie Hollowell (Indiana University) Sponsored by the World Archaeological Congress

This series provides comprehensive coverage of a range of areas of contemporary interest to archaeologists. Research handbooks attempt to synthesize and benchmark a given field or area of inquiry by providing state of the art summary articles on the key topics in the field. The edited volumes in this series will provide clear, in-depth information on specific archaeological themes, including the foundations of key concepts and theories, and practical advice for students, scholars, and emerging professionals. Guided by a vision of an ethically embedded global archaeology, this cohesive series grounds archaeological theory, method, and practice in an understanding of contemporary ethical issues surrounding each theme. These volumes are essential for graduate level courses as well as shelf references for academics, academic libraries, archaeological professionals, museum staff and others involved in heritage work. All royalties generated by sales of books in this series go directly to World Archaeological Congress.
