{"product_id":"controversies-in-archaeology-alice-beck-kehoe-9781598740615","title":"Controversies in Archaeology","description":"Atlantis, ancient astronauts, and pyramid power. Archaeologists are perennially bombarded with questions about the \"mysteries\" of the past. They are also constantly addressing more realistic controversies: origins of the First Americans, the ownership of antiquities, and national claims to historical territories. Alice Beck Kehoe offers to introductory students a method of evaluating and assessing these claims about the past in this reader-friendly, concise text. She shows how to use the methods of science to challenge the legitimacy of pseudoscientific proclamations and develop reasonable interpretations on controversial issues. Not one to shy away from controversy herself, Kehoe takes some stands--on transpacific migration, shamanism, the Kensington Runestone--which will challenge instructor and students alike, and foster class discussion.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Alice Beck Kehoe\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 159874061X\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781598740615\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Routledge\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/01\/2008\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 256\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.18lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.97h x 6.38w x 0.84d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eChoice\u003c\/i\u003e 10\/01\/2009","brand":"Alice Beck Kehoe","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48088613191935,"sku":"9781598740615","price":200.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_b46af9fc-9d58-4261-997f-ad9f07abfc19.jpg?v=1769105736","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/controversies-in-archaeology-alice-beck-kehoe-9781598740615","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
