Description
Archaeological Theory in a Nutshell by Adrian Praetzellis provides a concise introduction to contemporary archaeological concepts. This new edition expands on previous editions with additional chapters on Indigenous, cognitive, and behavioral archaeologies, covering 15 key theories from neoevolutionism to queer theory. Each chapter begins with an explanation of the concept, its origin, and significance, followed by an example of how an archaeologist has applied the idea to their site. Discussion questions and suggestions for further reading conclude each chapter, making this book a valuable resource for students studying archaeological theory and the discipline as a whole. A glossary of postmodern discourse is included at the end, providing clarity on some of the more complex ideas used in contemporary archaeology.
