Reviews
'A timely collection exploring what happens when movement is put at the centre of investigations into the archaeological record. We see the landscape as a fluid entity, the application of experimental methodologies, the inscription of movement on past bodies - in short, what past worlds look like from a mobile perspective. This is an exciting, challenging and innovative book addressing a topic at the forefront of archaeology.' Gavin Lucas, University of Iceland, Iceland 'The strength of this volume is the effort of the authors to integrate the theoretical reflections on movement of Martin Heidegger, Tim Ingold, Chris Tilley and Ian Hodder with archaeological data from the Old World, Iceland, and Australia. This makes it a valuable contribution to the growing discussion on the significance of mobility in the past, present and future of humanity.' Hans Barnard, Cotsen Institute of Archaeology at UCLA, USA
