What contemporary archaeology books have you been reading lately? We have been enjoying 'Clashes of Time' edited by Blaising, Driessen, Legendre, and Olivier, on the silent revolution of history, anthropology, and archaeology.
We also love Doug Bailey's newest book on the relationship between contemporary art and prehistoric archaeology, and the "philosophy of holes." The book itself is full of them! Talk about putting your theory in practice (we wonder, how did he talk the publisher into this?!).
