"The volume is well-presented and sufficiently illustrated with some full color images. The many maps and tables are clear to use and internally consistent. With good production values, the volume is well edited and includes several go-to papers for the subject, mostly for the serious student of the subject and for scholars with university classes in mind. This fine volume is indeed a welcome addition to the scholarship of this exciting era."- Colleen Batey, University of Glasgow, Scotland in The Journal of Island and Coastal Archaeology, 2016
