Trade Review
The Archaeology of Protestant Landscapes contributes to a growing awareness in archaeology of the importance of and approaches to using material culture to tease out notions of religious belief, social and political ideology, and identity through the interpretation of religious landscapes. Using comparative examples to identify and analyze landscape patterns, Pyszka offers viable interpretations for variances across three specific religious landscapes in eighteenth- through twentieth-century America. By applying ideas developed in other landscape and church archaeology studies to this American context, Pyszka has moved the study of religious landscapes a step farther." —C. Riley AugÉ, author of Field Manual for the Archaeology of Ritual, Religion, and Magic
