Advanced praise 
' This excellent book encapsulates…a combination of the richness of the 
material theory concerning human engagements with the material world and 
its ability to speak to current issues of identity makes historical 
archaeology both stimulating and controversial.' Chris Gosden, School of 
Archaeology, University of Oxford 

'Written from the contextual approach, this volume shows that the right 
and the left in historical archaeology make a preferential treatment of 
the poor and of their place in an improved society. Thus, historical 
archaeology is far more unified than supposed. These overviews will guide 
professionals through central debates in historical archaeology with 
enough opinion to punctuate the field's development with both intelligence 
and provocation.' Mark P. Leone, Department of Anthropology, University of 
Maryland
