Most practising archaeologists have preferred to leave the deep
theories of what lies behind their methods and perceptions on one
side. Now archaeologists have faced up to the difficult task of
making (or not making) the connections between the past,
interpretation and the present. The writers of this volumes address
the problems of archaeology, sometimes warily and sometimes with
enthusiasm. The connections are not easy to accomplish: a great
deal of theory seems of little relevance to the everyday practice
of archaeology, and much of post-structuralism refers exclusively
back to itself rather than to the more specific concerns of a
historical discipline. But where the junction between
post-structuralism and archaeology can be made, the results are
innovative and enriching. Originally published in 1990.
