NP at all, another one that I feel is a great read - 'Bronze Age Cultures of Central and Eastern Europe".
It's interesting mostly for the criticism it has received. Also, it's wonderful as a primer on the foundations of pagan reconstructionsim and goddess movements. At the very bottom of the wiki link is a book I intend to pick up that addresses the effect of political influence on archaeology. "Gere shows that archaeology can easily slip into reflecting what people want to see, rather than teaching people about an unfamiliar past." If anyone has already read this I'd love a recommendation of yay or nay. Only so many hours in the day, and every "Harry Potter" is one less "War and Peace".
