"This reference source would be useful in a high school or college library for students doing research; the list of reference sources at the end of each article could be used to find additional information on a particular topic." - Top of Texas Reviews "Libraries that purchased The Great Archaeologists will certainly want to add History and Discoveries to their collections." - Booklist "Essential reference tools for the history of anthropology in both general and research libraries." - Library Journal "Maintaining both the format and level of excellence of its predecessor . . . additional contributors have produced a work that includes much more than just entries about archaeological sites. . . . This highly recommended work provides high-quality information in a manner that is accessible to the average reader and should be considered for purchase by all public and academic libraries." - American Reference Books Annual "This three-volume work bridges a long-existing gap by successfully filling the space between scholarly and popular coverage." - American Libraries
