"[I] think that every instructor of North American prehistory should own this book, because I think it will enrich their lectures and widen their perspectives, whether they agree with the positions taken by the authors or not." (Journal of the Royal Anthropological Institute, September 2008)
"North American Archaeology generally achieves its aims; it is an easy read and explains many key concepts in an approachable way for upper level students." (Australian Archaeology)
