Forthcoming in paperback from Percheron Press . . .
BEHAVIORAL ARCHEOLOGY
MICHAEL BRIAN SCHIFFER
University of Arizona
Tucson, Arizona
With a New Prologue by the Author
>From the Prologue to the Percheron Press Edition . . .
"Clearly many issues raised in Behavioral Archeology, as well as its
principal ideas, retain considerable relevance for the practice of
archaeology. Thus I present this reprinted edition of Behavioral
Archeology, warts and all, in the hope that readers will enjoy engaging the
ideas that played a pivotal role in establishing as fundamental the
behavioral perspective in archaeology."
>From the reviews . . .
"[A]n important and original essay that tackles the nature and methods of
archaeological inference in a fundamental way. [O]ne of the most
noteworthy theoretical writings in archaeology in recent years, and, unlike
most of the others, it is also delightfully readable."
K.C. Chang in American Scientist
"[Schiffer's] first grand treatise dealing with the interrelationships
between laws, cultural and natural formation processes, and their
applications for indirect observation of past cultural systems."
Albert C. Goodyear in American
Antiquity
"[O]ne of the most important treatments of archaeological methodology.
Although it will undoubtedly be a controversial book, even those who do not
accept the Schifferian approach will find some imaginative, well-formulated
methods that can be used to obtain information about the past."
Stephen Plog in American Anthropologist
