"[...] all of the essays in the volume provide ideas for interpreting the past in new and revealing ways. Mark Leone, his coeditor, Lee Jenkins, and their authors have produced an important model for forging crossdisciplinary conversations and they accomplished this through an impressivelycollaborative approach, involving senior scholars, advanced graduate students, two disciplines, and two institutions."- Julia A. King (St. Mary’s College of Maryland), Historical Archeology 52, 2018, p. 506–508.
