Memory making is a social practice that links people and things
together across time and space and ultimately has material
consequences. The intersection of matter and social practice
becomes archaeologically visible through the deposits created
during social activities. Memories are made, not just experienced,
and their material traces allow us to understand the materiality of
these practices. Indeed, materiality is not just material culture
repackaged. Instead, it is about the interaction of humans and
materials within a set of cultural relationships. In this book the
authors focus on a set of case studies that illustrate how social
memories were made through repeated, patterned, and engaged social
practices. Memory work also refers to the interpretive activities
scholars perform when studying social memory. The contributors to
this volume share a common goal to map out the different ways in
which to study social memories in past societies programmatically
and tangibly.
