<p><strong>'Sian Jones develops here a new framework for the analysis of ethnicity in archaeology that has methodological, interpretative and political implications.'</strong> – <em>Minerva</em><br /><br /><strong>'...powerful and definitive...'</strong> – <em>New Scientist</em><br /><br /><strong>In critically picking a way through the confusing history of ideas and theories, The Archaeology of Ethnicity offers a timely and much-needed synthesis and critique. With coherence and style, this book illustrates how far archaeology has come in recognising the relativity of ethnicity and the distance it still has to travel.'</strong> – <em>Times Literary Supplement</em><br /><br /><strong>'This volume makes a valuable contribution to the discussion of ethnicity in archaeology, and is a 'must' for archaeologists considering aspects of ethnic identity.'</strong> – <em>The Archaeological Journal</em><br /><br /><strong>'This book is useful because it summarises a long and complicated discussion of ethnicity and attempts to apply it to archaeology.'</strong> – <em>ARC</em><br /><br /><strong>'This is an useful introduction to current social theories of ethnicity and a concise summary of archaeological approaches to it. It deserves to be widely raed and ought to form a springboard for further exploration.'</strong> – <em>Antiquity</em><br /><br /><strong>'This book is useful because it summarises a long and complicated discussion of ethnicity and attempts to apply it to archaeology.'</strong> – <em>Archaeological Review, Cambridge</em><br /><br /><strong>'A remarkable book and a welcome contribution to archaeological and anthropological reasoning about ethnicity and cultural identity. It is warmly recommended and deserves a wide readership far beyond our own disciplinary boundaries.'</strong> – <em>Norwegian Journal of Archaeology</em></p>
