This dictionary provides those studying or working in archaeology
with a complete reference to the field. The entries, which range
from key-word definitions to longer articles, convey the
challenges, ambiguities and theoretical context of archaeology as
well as the surveyed and excavated data. The dictionary is based on
the premise that archaeology is a process rather than simply a body
of knowledge, and includes contributions from more than forty of
the world's leading archaeologists.
Unlike other dictionaries of archaeology, this volume provides
comprehensive coverage of recent archaeological theory together
with examples of practical applications and cross-references to
site entries. "The Dictionary" also incorporates concepts and
movements from adjacent fields such as anthropology, sociology,
philosophy and human biology. There are also numerous entries on
previously neglected areas such as China, Japan and Oceania. The
bibliographies that follow virtually every entry enable the reader
to easily locate primary or most recent sources.
