Abstract
This is the kind of book which can seriously deplete a reviewer's stock of superlatives. Without doubt The Discovery of the Past is a major contribution to the history of archaeology, matched only by Trigger's A History ofArchaeological Thought in its coverage and intellectuality. It is also a very thoughtful addition to what is a very small literature devoted to the historiography of archaeology.
