Reviews

"Tilley furthers his inquiry into the phenomenology of landscape with the book Body and Image Tilley presents a theoretically informed approach to archaeological scholarship that will appeal to readers from other disciplines While Tilley never directly calls for archaeologists to be active participants in the investigation of landscape, his work implies that the truest form of interpretation lies in a direct, tactile, an multisensory experience with the object of study. In short, there is no substitute for climbing the rocks." --Marguerite Helmers, American Journal of Archaeology
