“Sturdy Colls’ crucial and ambitious volume has provided the foundation for a desperately needed practical and ethical protocol for archaeological investigation of Holocaust sites–one that will aid students and archaeologists considering entering the field, allow educators to keep their courses timely and relevant, inform interested laypeople, and spur debate about the future of Holocaust archaeology.” (Robert M. Ehrenreich, Holocaust and Genocide Studies, Vol. 29 (3), December, 2015)

“In her just published book, ‘Holocaust Archeologies: Approaches and Future Directions,’ Sturdy Colls lays groundwork for the emerging field of non-invasive investigations of genocide sites. … Sturdy Colls’s 358-page volume is both a field manual for researchers, and a first-hand account of the herculean efforts required to conduct even a survey of Holocaustera grounds.” (Matt Lebovic, The Times of Israel, timesofisrael.com, April, 2015)
