"Joyce takes on archaeology's major themes, writing, and practice
in her own engaging text. She has indeed produced a telling story.
The book disentangles the enmeshed terrain of representation and
narrative, and promises to make a lasting contribution to
archaeological theory."

"This is an engaging and readable study of a profoundly
neglected topic in archaeology. The Languages of Archaeology
constitutes an open and disarmingly honest investigation of how
archaeologists write and indeed construct the past through this
process. This is a highly innovative and groundbreaking piece of
research, in which the aim of retrieving dialogue from its
marginalized position is successfully achieved."
–Stephanie Moser, University of Southampton
