Description
A comprehensive history of archaeological thought from medieval times to the present, this book offers a world-wide perspective on the development of archaeological theory and practice.
Updated with new insights and perspectives, the second edition builds upon the original work while introducing fresh ideas and concerns. The author explores the social and intellectual context in which archaeological thought has evolved, examining the interactions between personal interests and the accumulation of data.
The result is a nuanced understanding of how archaeological research has become increasingly objective over time, shedding light on the human condition and our shared history.
