The Emergent Past approaches archaeological research as an
engagement within an assemblage - a particular configuration of
materials, things, places, humans, animals, plants, techniques,
technologies, forces, and ideas. Fowler develops a new
interpretative method for that engagement, exploring how
archaeological research can, and does, reconfigure each assemblage.
Recognising the successive relationships that give rise to and
reshaped assemblages over time, he proposes a relational realist
understanding of archaeological evidence based on a reading of
relational and non-representational theories, such as those
presented by Karen Barad, Tim Ingold, and Bruno Latour. The volume
explores this new approach through the first ever synthesis of
Chalcolithic and Early Bronze Age mortuary practices in Northeast
England (c.2500-1500 BC), taking into account how different
concepts and practices have changed the assemblage of Early Bronze
Age mortuary practices in the past 200 years. Fowler argues that it
is vital to retain the most valuable archaeological tools, such as
typology, while developing an approach that focuses on the
contingent, specific, and historical emergence of past phenomena.
His study moves from analyses of changing types of mortuary
practices and associated things and places, to a vivid discussion
of how past relationships unfolded over time and gave rise to
specific patterns in the material remains we have today.
