The Strong Case Approach in Behavioral Archaeology (Foundations of Archaeological Inquiry) - Softcover
Although all archaeologists subscribe in principle to building strong cases in support of their inferences, behavioural archaeology alone has created methodology for developing strong cases in practice. The behavioural version of the strong case approach rests on two main pillars: (1) nomothetic (generalising) strategies, consisting of research in experimental archaeology, ethnoarchaeology, and long-term processes of behavioural change to produce principles necessary for inference; and (2) the formation processes of supporting evidence when constructing inferences. The chapters employ a wide range of data classes, demonstrating the versatility and productivity of the approach for fashioning rigorous inferences in history, historical archaeology, ethnoarchaeology, and prehistory. By illustrating the strong case approach with convincing case studies from behavioural archaeology, the editors aim to alert the archaeological community about how the process of archaeological inference can be improved.

Review:
"An excellent overview of the strong case approach, and how it has been used through the decades. For readers unfamiliar with the strong case approach, the book adeptly provides necessary information on the history, development, and use of this paradigm. Anyone interested in archaeological theory and history, behavioral archaeology, and Southwest archaeology should find this volume useful."
--Jakob W. Sedig, Consulting Archaeologist, Reich Lab of Medical and Population Genetics, Harvard Medical School
"These case studies take the ideas of behavioral archaeology and the strong case from the theoretical to the concrete. The volume demonstrates the continued importance of these issues and provides a very accessible medium for their implementation."
--Tammy Stone, professor of anthropology and associate dean, University of Colorado Denver
