      abstract = {This book explores the potential and challenges of  implementing evolutionary phylogenetic methods in  archaeological research, by discussing key concepts and  presenting concrete applications of these approaches. The  volume is divided into two parts: The first covers the  theoretical and conceptual implications of using  evolution-based models in the sociocultural domain,  illustrates the sorts of questions that these methods can  help answer, and invites the reader to reflect on the  opportunities and limitations of these perspectives. The  second part comprises case studies that address relevant  empirical issues, such as inferring patterns and rates of  cultural transmission, detecting selective pressures in  cultural evolution, and explaining the nature of cultural  variation. This book will appeal to archaeologists  interested in applying evolutionary thinking and  inferential methods to their field, and to anyone  interested in cultural evolution studies.},
