A new generation of archaeologists has thrown down a challenge to
post-processual theory, arguing that characterizing material
symbols as arbitrary overlooks the material character and
significance of artifacts. This volume showcases the significant
departure from previous symbolic approaches that is underway in the
discipline. It brings together key scholars advancing a variety of
cutting edge approaches, each emphasizing an understanding of
artifacts and materials not in terms of symbols but relationally,
as a set of associations that compose people's understanding of the
world. Authors draw on a diversity of intellectual sources and case
studies, paving a dynamic road ahead for archaeology as a
discipline and theoretical approaches to material culture.
