* This handbook gathers original, authoritative articles from leading archaeologists to compile the latest thinking about archaeological theory. The authors provide a comprehensive picture of the theoretical foundations by which archaeologists contextualize and analyze their archaeological data. Student readers will also gain a sense of the immense power that theory has for building interpretations of the past, while recognizing the wonderful archaeological traditions that created it. An extensive bibliography is included. This volume is the single most important reference for current information on contemporary archaeological theories. *

* Stanley South has been a leading figure not only in histoical archaeology but also a leading figure in anthropological archaeology as well. His work (both past and present) has put him in the forefront of monumental changes in American archaeology in the last 40 years. His personal perserverance in field archaeology has also been an inspiration to new and burgeoning archaeologists and anthropologists. *

* This book presents a comprehensive description of the soils of Israel, offering complete details of their distribution, chemical, physical, and mineralogical characteristics and agricultural attributes. The pathways to the formation of each soil type are discussed against the background of such various soil-forming factors as climate, lithology and physiography. The distribution of the different soil types is explained, based on the relationships between soils and soil-forming factors. The description of the contemporaneous surface soils is supplemented by a review of the numerous paleosols with their paleogeographic significance. An ample bibliography backs up this exposition, supplemented by numerous figures, tables, colour plates and maps. This book offers the first comprehensive study of Israel since 1948. *
