Reviews
"A valuable guide to theory and possibilities in future figurine research."
--Choice
"Promotes theoretical and interpretive diversity rather than a universalizing approach to a class of artifacts."
"This book focuses on interpretation as the desired product of analysis."
"This book is not meant to answer all questions or to resolve selected questions convincingly- and it does not."
"Well fulfills a greater objective of parading a range of significant questions and approaches and thus should inspire more research."
