Reviews
"This thought-provoking volume on a relevant field of anthropological research can be recommended to maritime archaeologists."- International Journal of Nautical Archaeology, "This superb collection is a cogent statement of much current thinking on the subject that should find its way into university libraries worldwide, and hopefully some of those on islands. Maybe one day it will stimulate islanders' interest in the archeology of their homelands." Island Studies Journal, "Voyages of Discovery: The Archaeology of Islands is by no means comprehensive; it is in every way engaging and a step in the right direction. Should your conceptual framework be in desperate need of enlargement, then this is the book for you. If there is bad news in Fitzpatrick's tome, it is this; you must make room in your already crowded shelf for this volume." International Journal of Maritime History, "This book makes a major contribution towards contextualising the archaeology of islands within a global frame of reference, as it brings together some of the leading thinkers involved in the island archaeology debate and demonstrates the relevance of different approaches. It also shows that island archaeology has become a well-established subject in its own right, by accommodating the growing variety of ways in which the island can be conceptualised. We believe that this book goes a long way towards showing how the world island research community has recognised this diversity and is developing increasingly effective ways of approaching it."- Papers from the Institute of Archaeology, "This thought-provoking volume on a relevant field of anthropological research can be recommended to maritime archaeologists."
