..Our book is an attempt to revive a dialogue between archaeology and anthropology, which has been dormant since the 1960s, and an invitation to think differently about the course of human history: an experiment, in which we hope many others will join us."

A work worthy of such praise and recognition. Many thanks to you both for writing it. (I wish David G. could have been here to see the acknowledgement and acceptance your work has deservedly received!)

It seems the marginal notes were made by later English owners. Noted that the March marginal notes are clearly not French (mars), no?
