Oxbow Insights in Archaeology
Editorial Board Chair: Richard Bradley
Oxbow Insights in Archaeology is a peer-reviewed series of single author paperbacks by leading academics in all areas of archaeology. Authors reflect on one or more aspects of their personal research or subject area: be it landscape, artefact, or period based, theoretical, historiographical, social, or phenomenological. The result is a free narrative of collected thoughts in a chosen subject area that is personal, thought-provoking, even controversial. The books are produced in small format paperback, perfect for popping in a rucksack to read on the train. The series’ editorial board comprises academics with a broad and eclectic range of interests.
