Summary "Gordon Willey and Philip Phillips, writing in 1958, suggested that little interpretation had taken place in American archaeology, and their book offered an analytical perspective; the methods they described and the structural framework they used for synthesizing American prehistory were all geared toward interpretation. Method and Theory served as the catalyst and primary reader on the topics for more than a decade." "This facsimile reprint edition of the original University of Chicago Press volume includes a new foreword by Gordon R. Willey, which outlines the state of American archaeology at the time of the original publication, and a new introduction by the editors to place the book in its historical context. The bibliography is exhaustive. Academic librarians, students, professionals, and knowledgeable amateurs will welcome this new edition of a standard-maker among texts on American archaeology."--Jacket.
