Norman Yoffee challenges the classical archaeological theory that a state's evolution reflects universal forces by presenting more complex models for the evolution of civilizations. A ground-breaking work that challenges the definition of the prehistoric state, explores questions of agency and examines the new direction that archaeological theory is taking.
