Reviews

`Kipfer has included a whole wealth of terms and topics that have tangential, yet meaningful, relationships with the world of archaeology. ... An appended timeline, which traces the development of writing over the millennia, is another attractive feature of this new dictionary.'
Odyssey, March/April 2001
