The World Archaeological Congress’s (WAC) Research Handbooks in Archaeology series provides
comprehensive coverage of a range of areas of contemporary interest to archaeologists. Research
handbooks synthesize and benchmark an area of inquiry by providing state-of-the-art summary articles
on the key theories, methods, and practical issues in the field. Guided by a vision of an ethically
embedded, multivocal global archaeology, the edited volumes in this series—organized and written by
scholars of high standing worldwide—provide clear, in-depth information on specific archaeological
themes for advanced students, scholars, and professionals in archaeology and related disciplines. All
royalties on these volumes go to the World Archaeological Congress.
