Acknowledgements

Archaeological fieldwork is often a painstaking process, and editing a book on the subject is no different. This volume arises from two conference sessions in 2007, one in Zadar, Croatia, at the European Association of Archaeologists (EAA) conference and one in York, UK, at the Theoretical Archaeology Group (TAG) conference. The editors would like to thank all those who came along to both sessions whether to present papers or to engage in the lively debates that followed. Both were highly stimulating and have added much to many of the papers published here. Our deepest gratitude is also due to Teresa Krauss, Morgan Ryan and everyone at Springer for their unstinting help and support over the intervening years, and the patience and forbearance of all of our contributors during some unfortunate, but unavoidable, hold ups.
