This provocative introduction examines the most important new
school of archaeological thought and practice to have emerged over
the last two decades and provides students with an assessment of
the impact and importance of recent theoretical debates. Written by
a leading figure in the field of theoretically-informed
archaeology, the book provides an interpretation of the
archaeological process, reassessing the origins and aims of
archaeology, and setting forth an innovative agenda for the
future.
In particular the author argues for a plural and diverse
perspective and for a new "reflexive" methodology: one that opens
archaeology up to critique and interaction between different
communities. This approach has implications not only for the
interpretation of evidence, but for the kind of evidence that is
sought in excavating, and the manner of its recovering and
recording. It has implications too for the role of archaeology and
heritage within new global environments and in the context of new
information technologies.
