A heartfelt and well-reasoned analysis of how and why geophysical analysis should be used in conjunction with more standard archaeological methods to help understand people, history, and past landscapes within an anthropological framework.
— Lawrence Conyers, University of Denver
A courageous, heartfelt, and well-argued plea to put anthropology—the study of people—squarely and centrally into the use of archaeological geophysical techniques, so that this ‘wave of the future’ technology will be understandable and effectively usable by all archaeologists and geoarchaeologists.
— Glenn R. Storey, University of Iowa
