Originally published in 1991, this is the first book-length
exploration of post-structuralist discourse theory in archaeology.
It tackles the most basic problem of historical and archaeological
analysis - the relationship between text and artefact - in an
analysis of prehistoric art fusing theory and the practice of
interpretation to create a fresh framework for understanding the
relationship between past and present. Focusing on a collection of
rock carvings from northern Sweden, the author shows how
alternative conceptualizations of the material from structuralist,
hermeneutic and structural-Marxist frameworks substantially alter
our understanding of their meaning and significance. Engaging
readers in an interpretive process, this book is for specialists in
archaeology, anthropology, art history and cultural studies.
