Description
Christopher Gosden explores the intricate relationship between time and human social development in this thought-provoking work.
The author argues that our perception of time is deeply rooted in our interactions with the world around us, particularly through the creation and use of material things such as landscapes, settlements, and monuments. This theory is illustrated through case studies from Europe and the Pacific, providing a unique perspective on social change and social being.
By examining ideas on human action and time over the last two centuries, Gosden develops a comprehensive framework for understanding social formations over long periods of time. This book offers a valuable resource for interpreting archaeological data, while its broad scope ensures it will be of interest to anyone studying the interactions between people and their environment.
