Themes in Contemporary Archaeology provides cutting edge summaries of areas of debate in current
archaeological enquiry, with a particular emphasis on European archaeology. The series has a
broad coverage, encompassing all periods and archaeological disciplines from theoretical debate to
statistical analysis and three-dimensional imaging. The multi-author volumes are based on selected
sessions from the well-regarded annual conference of the European Association of Archaeologists.
