Description

Fluid Pasts: Archaeology of Flow by Matt Edgeworth explores an innovative approach to studying rivers and flowing water. By applying archaeological perspectives to these dynamic environments, the author challenges traditional views of rivers as natural, less culturally significant than other forms of material evidence. This book examines how running water has been utilised or incorporated into designs and layouts at various archaeological sites, as well as where other kinds of flow have left behind material traces. By focusing on changes in flow, the author encourages a more dynamic and fluid approach to analysis, revealing new insights into ordinary sites and landscapes. By considering flowing water as a source of archaeological evidence, Edgeworth offers a fresh perspective on our understanding of the material world.
