This volume represents an introduction to a new world-wide attempt
to review the history of technology, which is one of few since the
pioneering publications of the 1960s. It takes an explicit
archaeological focus to the study of the history of technology and
adopts a more explicit socially-embedded view of technology than
has commonly been the case in mainstream histories of technology.
In doing so, it attempts to introduce a more radical element to
explanations of technological change, involving magic, alchemy,
animism - in other words, attempting to consider technological
change in terms of the 'world view' of those involved in such
change rather than from an exclusively western scientific
perspective.
