The volume focuses on the new archaeology and its challenge to traditional modes of thought and practice. Addressed here are questions about the nature and status of archaeological evidence, the security such evidence gives to claims about the cultural past, and whether there are inherent limitations to the scope and security of archaeological inquiry. The contributors represent a wide range of theoretical and disciplinary interests, explore the rationale for specific theoretical ideas through detailed case studies and also pay particular attention to the political implications of the ideas under discussion. A new preface discusses critical developments in archaeological thought since the first edition of this book appeared. The preface contains a list of references directing students and scholars to the literature discussed in the piece. Condition: Very good. Former owner’s name on title page.
