Between History and Archaeology: Papers in honour of Jacek Lech is
a collection of forty-six papers papers in honour of Professor
Jacek Lech, compiled in recognition of his research and academic
career as well as his inquiry into the study of prehistoric flint
mining, Neolithic flint tools (and beyond), and the history of
archaeology. The papers explore topics on archaeology and history,
and are organised into three sections. The first contains texts on
flint mining dealing with well-known mining sites as well as
previously unpublished new material. The reader will find here a
wide spectrum of approaches to flint mining, ways of identifying
raw materials used by prehistoric communities, and an impressive
overview of the history of research, methodology and approaches to
flint mining in Europe, North America and Asia. The following group
of papers deals with the use of flint by Neolithic and younger
communities, including typological studies on trace evidence
analyses as well as theoretical papers on prehistoric periods in
Europe and the New World. The final section consists of papers on
the history of archaeology in the 19th and 20th centuries. Some
deal with the beginnings of archaeology as a scholarly discipline,
while others present significant research from different countries.
Readers will also find papers on the development of archaeology in
the second half of the 20th century, both in political and
institutional contexts. The book ends with the memories, which
bring the Jubilarian closer to the reader by viewing him through
the eyes of his co-workers and friends.
