Description
Understanding the Archaeological Record by Gavin Lucas This book explores the diverse understandings of the archaeological record, examining three ways of understanding it: as historical sources, through formation theory, and as material culture. The author argues that archaeological theory has become fragmented and disconnected from the nature of archaeological evidence. Lucas calls for a rethinking of the nature of the archaeological record and the kind of history and narratives written from it. He proposes a new approach that connects these three domains through a reconsideration of archaeological entities and practice. By reassessing current views, this book provides a guide for understanding the archaeological record and its significance in the field of archaeology.
