Synopsis

Archaeology and Language III is the third volume of a groundbreaking survey of the new results emerging from the synthesis of linguistics and archaeology. This installment interprets results from archaeological data in terms of language distribution and change, providing tools for a radical rewriting of the conventional dicourse of prehistory and a rich new narrative of the past. It will be of interest to archaeologists, linguists and anthropologists.
