She has indeed produced a telling story. The book disentangles the enmeshed terrain of representation and narrative, and promises to make a lasting contribution to archaeological theory.\"  Lynn Meskell, Columbia University  \"This is an engaging and readable study of a profoundly neglected topic in archaeology. The Languages of Archaeology constitutes an open and disarmingly honest investigation of how archaeologists write and indeed construct the past through this process. This is a highly innovative and groundbreaking piece of research, in which the aim of retrieving dialogue from its marginalized position is successfully achieved.\" Stephanie Moser, University of Southampton\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIntroduction. \u003cp\u003e1 Introducing the First Voice: Rosemary Joyce.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e2 Writing the Field of Archaeology: Rosemary Joyce and Robert W.
