History Archaeological Thought 2ed
Bruce G. TriggerDavid Wengrow@KUHoopes @SrslyWrong Hi - we don't claim to have written a history of archaeology, so not sure why you see a problem. If you're looking for one of those, you'll find Bruce Trigger's "A History of Archaeological Thought" in our bibliography (a warning: there is more Mellaart in our book than in his!).
