Summary:

Archaeological ideas and practices have experienced transformative change since the Society for American Archaeology's fiftieth Anniversary. Authors in this volume from the SAA press consider critically some of today's most noteworthy issues. Their voices-like their views-are as diverse as the discipline. Nonetheless, they repeatedly recognize deep articulation between archaeology and social, economic, and political milieus, from local to global scales. And they share conviction that much is to be done in the years ahead. This volume aims to rouse more voices to join the lively ongoing conversation.
