Why read it?
1 author picked A History of American Archaeology as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
The first (and still most influential) history of archaeology in the Americas.
Willey and Sabloff wrote at a time of great ferment in the theory and practice of archaeology where old certainties were beginning to give way to radically new ways of creating and understanding archaeological knowledge. This book was particularly influential in helping archaeologists find their ways through a new intellectual landscape.
From Tim's list on the history and philosophy of archaeology.
