Recent years have seen an increase in the number of volumes Antiquity receives from publishers based in the USA, presenting archaeology in North and South America, as well as farther afield. The range of these publications is testament to the extent and diversity of archaeological research being undertaken in the Americas. This NBC features a selection of books from U.S. publishers as a window on the diversity of approaches in American archaeology. With a focus on North America, the volumes highlight research from the Pre-Columbian period to the Cold War era and through to the present day.
