Rather than seeing theory as something worked from the outside in,
this book explores theory from the inside out, which means it
focuses on specific archaeological practices rather than specific
theories. It starts from the kinds of situations that students find
themselves in and learn about in other archaeology courses,
avoiding the gap between practice and theory from the very
beginning. It shows students the theoretical implications of almost
everything they engage in as archaeologists, from fieldwork,
recording, writing-up and making and assessing an argument, to
exploring the very nature of archaeology and justifying its
relevance. Essentially, it adopts a structure which attempts to
pre-empt one of the most common complaints of student's taking
theory courses: how is this applicable? Aimed primarily at
undergraduates, this book is the ideal way to engage students with
archaeological theory.
