“… the first comprehensive publication on Iranian archaeology since Frank Hole’s 1987 collection of articles The Archaeology of Western Iran… this collection of essays is a timely reminder of the present state and requirements of Iranian archaeology.” 
  — Gabriele Puschnigg, Journal of Field Archaeology, 2002-2004

This volume is a collection of essays by colleagues, friends, and students of William M. Sumner in appreciation of his outstanding contribution to Iranian archaeology, especially to our archaeological knowledge of Fars, a center of Iranian civilization.
