Description
Archaeologists often focus on artifacts, using them to tell stories about past lives and cultures. However, their personal connections with these objects are rarely shared. In this collection, 23 archaeologists share intimate stories of their experiences with evocative artifacts.
The artifacts featured range from ancient tools and toys to everyday objects like a toothpick and door. These creative stories offer a unique perspective on the material world, drawing on real-world encounters viewed through the lens of archaeological practice. This book is suitable for undergraduate and graduate courses focused on archaeological interpretation and theory, as well as those exploring material culture and storytelling.
