Reviews
`The Archaeology of Nabta Playa is truly an opus magnus; it is not a casual read, and it will be cited for years to come. As a valuable reference work written for interested experts, it will be of most interest to those who share similar regional and topical foci. This book is thorougly and unequivocally recommended for students of African prehistory... In terms of value for money, however, this work speaks volumes.'
The Holocene, 13:2 (2003)
`[...] it is important to stress the objective contribution that these volumes make to the prehistory of the eastern Sahara. They are extremely well produced, with ample illustrations and statistics, and no detail is spared in the description of habitation sites and small finds. Volumes 1 and 2 of Nabta Playa are a superb addition to the prehistory of the eastern Sahara.'
Antiquity, 77:297 (September 2003)
`[...] contains a marvelous range of information on many aspects of life in the Holocene of the eastern Sahara. The publication is of a very high standard - well finishes and proofread - and should grace the shelves of Saharanists, as well as any university library where African history is taught.'
Journal of Anthropological Research, 59 (2003)
"It is clear that this book is a milestone. Wendorf and his team are to be enthusistically congratulated for contributing to the renewal of some critical theoretical and historical problems, and for their exemplary multidisciplinary research strategy." (Savino di Lernia; African Archaeological Review, 21:1)
