Beskrivning

This volume provides a forum for debate between varied approaches to the past. The authors, drawn from Europe, North America, Asia and Australasia, represent many different strands of archaeology. They address the philosophical issues involved in interpretation and a desire among archaeologists to come to terms with their own subjective approaches to the material they study, a recognition of how past researchers have also imposed their own value systems on the evidence which they presented.

Interpretating Archaeology is a salient and timely production and would be an ideal acquisition for students. So, as Whitley indirectly cautions all readers, peruse the whole book; your understanding of current Anglo-American theoretical archaeology will be considerably advanced.
