Archaeology, most of us learned in school, consists in the
painstaking digging up and sifting of relics from extinct cultures;
hardly an exciting or indeed interesting activity - for most of us.
Archaeologists and anthropologists, professional and otherwise,
know better. In the buried structures and detritus of ancient
cultures can be found a world of knowledge and insight - empirical
and theoretical - into their cultures as well as our own. This
fascinating volume brings these worlds to life, by integrating
recent developments in anthropological and sociological theory with
a series of detailed studies of prehistoric material culture. It is
an exploration of the manner in which semiotic, hermeneutic,
Marxist, and post-structuralist approaches radically alter our
understanding of the past, and provides a series of innovative
studies of key areas of interest to archaeologists and
anthropologists.
