Description
Archaeologies of Memory brings together a unique collection of essays from archaeologists working in diverse contexts and geographical areas. This groundbreaking text presents a coherent framework for studying memory in past societies, exploring its role in the creation and transformation of authority and identity.
The book draws on contributions from both anthropological and classical archaeologists, covering a range of cultures and time periods, including New Kingdom Egypt and the prehistoric American Southwest. By examining memory in these different contexts, Archaeologies of Memory provides an accessible introduction to central issues in the study of memory.
