Highlights:

The book does not offer an introductory text but attempts to reassess the foundations of prehistoric archaeology by scrutinizing its typologies, chronologies and interpretive models.

The reviewer points out the book's focus on archaeology's role in public discourse and highlights Veit's warning about how archaeological knowledge is often appropriated and misused in (contemporary) politics.

Scharl acknowledges the book’s ambition and necessity, but she also points out its limitations, such as an uneven structure and high entry barriers.
