". . . one of the best things I have read in the history of
archaeology for a long time. It demonstrates a level of
disciplinary maturity in American archaeology where painful
memories can be re-experienced and wrongs (on both sides) can be
acknowledged."
--Archaeology Bulletin
"This is a fascinating book about a complex person...Taylor is
claimed by the contributors to this new book as ancestor to both
processual and postprocessual archaeologies...It thus remains
possible to read him in different ways, as is well brought out by
the diverse contributions to this volume, which is the first to
provide a thorough and informed account that contextualizes
Taylor's work and habilitates him within later and contemporary
currents in archaeology...Throughout Prophet, Pariah, and Pioneer
and especially at the end, the twists and turns, the refractions
never stop...The editors are to be congratulated for not trying to
tidy him up..."
--Ian Hodder, Current Anthropology
"This book is the fullest account of Walter Taylor yet in print,
and doubtless it will remain so for many years. . . the focus of
the volume on earlier theoretical history encourages us to more
fully explore where we have been, where we are now, and where we
may be going."
--American Antiquity
