Very good on old bones and site mechanics,
but fails on Greek archeology which is actually the beginnings of archeology.
It is somewhat unfair in the analysis of foods with a North American origin as well.
Pine Nuts and Acorns are left out as well as cactus.
The Polynesian civilization is completely absent.
I have to say that I learned somethings from the datings and the maps
which are extensive and annotated well.
The text is well written and as nearly up to date
as a text can be.

I had to use this textbook for a college anthropology class recently. I found that reading the book every night was actually enjoyable--it has an incredibly easy reading-style! Also, the authors are very careful to offer numerous opinions on most subjects so that the reader can draw their own informed opinions. I think this book is excellent for anyone interested in learning about anthropology or archaeology for the very first time. Enjoy!
