| Summary: | "...archaeologists working in the southern Levant have been slower than their European or North American counterparts to grapple with the problematic, intertwined aspects of cultural change, chronology and geographic variability and have commonly generated a series of conflicting models without explicit reference to theory." So state the editors in their introduction to this set of papers arising from a 2006 workshop in Madrid. The aim is to provoke dialogue that kickstarts an invigorated theoretical involvement--so that today's production of high-quality data can be framed in productive ways. The volume is published jointly by the Council for British Research in the Levant and Oxbow Books. Distribution in North America is by The David Brown Book Co.
