At a time when archaeology has turned away from questions of the
long-term and large scale, this collection of essays reflects on
some of the big questions in archaeology and ancient history - how
and why societies have grown in scale and complexity, how they have
maintained and discarded aspects of their own cultural heritage,
and how they have collapsed. In addressing these long-standing
questions of broad interest and importance, the authors develop
counter-narratives - new ways of understanding what used to be
termed 'cultural evolution'. Encompassing the Middle East and
Egypt, India, Southeast Asia, Australia, the American Southwest and
Mesoamerica, the fourteen essays offer perspectives on long-term
cultural trajectories; on cities, states and empires; on collapse;
and on the relationship between archaeology and history. The book
concludes with a commentary by one of the major voices in
archaeological theory, Norman Yoffee.
