A powerful and innovative argument that explores the complexity of
the human relationship with material things, demonstrating how
humans and societies are entrapped into the maintenance and
sustaining of material worlds * Argues that the interrelationship
of humans and things is a defining characteristic of human history
and culture * Offers a nuanced argument that values the physical
processes of things without succumbing to materialism * Discusses
historical and modern examples, using evolutionary theory to show
how long-standing entanglements are irreversible and increase in
scale and complexity over time * Integrates aspects of a diverse
array of contemporary theories in archaeology and related natural
and biological sciences * Provides a critical review of many of the
key contemporary perspectives from materiality, material culture
studies and phenomenology to evolutionary theory, behavioral
archaeology, cognitive archaeology, human behavioral ecology, Actor
Network Theory and complexity theory
