Problems in Neolithic Archaeology is a notable contribution to the
debate about how we can write prehistory. Drawing on both
processual and post-processual approaches, it reaffirms the central
role of theory and interpretation while accepting as permanent the
uncertainty which makes the testing of archaeological hypotheses
difficult or even impossible. Dr Whittle asserts in particular the
need for greater self-confidence and for the formulation of new
theory and questions more appropriate to the archaeological record.
The book's specific strength lies, however, in a close contextual
study of the Neolithic period in western and central Europe. In
this respect it provides an admirable complement to his textbook
Neolithic Europe.
