"A significant new work that is exciting and timely. Their purpose is to give a history and to review and critique early approaches to simulation studies in archaeology, discuss and present approaches common to its current state, and to suggest directions in which it should go."--Kenneth L Kvamme, University of Arkansas "Thought-provoking.... interesting and insightful."--Journal of Artificial Societies and Social Simulation
