Description

Memory and Material Culture explores how our collective memory is shaped by the material world around us. Andrew Jones challenges traditional approaches to understanding artifacts, arguing instead that they should be seen as mnemonic traces with a profound impact on our senses.

In this thought-provoking book, Jones examines detailed case studies from prehistoric Europe to demonstrate how archaeologists can uncover the relationships between memory and material culture. By studying networks of reference in artefactual and architectural forms, he reveals new insights into how our memories are formed and preserved.
