Zeder's book is valuable in showing how archaeologists now view themselves and their field and for documenting important facts about the structure and funding of American archaeology. The census provides grist forthe mill of disciplinary introspection. -- William Green, Beloit College * Illinois Archaeology *
A monumental task well done...a benchmark well into the 21st century. -- From the Foreword by Patty Jo Watson
