Description

Archaeological Semiotics by Robert W. Preucel explores the intersection of archaeology and semiotics, tracing its development from early structuralist beginnings to recent Peircian encounters. This interdisciplinary book examines how archaeology gives meaning to the past through the study of materiality, complementing standard studies of linguistics and reformulating contemporary theories of material culture. Preucel discusses the interrelations between different theoretical approaches, including structuralism, poststructuralism, and cognitive science, and presents two original case studies that demonstrate how material culture pragmatically mediates social relations. By exploring these connections, Preucel argues that archaeology can open up new spaces for discourse and dialogue about meaning, making a valuable contribution to contemporary semiotics.
