The dynamic processes of knowledge production in archaeology and
elsewhere in the humanities and social sciences are increasingly
viewed as the collaborative effort of groups, clusters and
communities of researchers rather than the isolated work of
so-called 'instrumental' actors. Shifting focus from the individual
scholar to the wider social contexts of her work and the dynamic
creative processes she participates in, this volume critically
examines the importance of informal networks and conversation in
the creation of knowledge about the past. Engaging with theoretical
approaches such as the sociology and geographies of knowledge and
Actor-Network Theory (ANT), and using examples taken from different
archaeologies in Europe and North America from the seventeenth to
the mid-twentieth century, the book caters to a wide readership,
ranging from students of archaeology, anthropology, classics and
science studies to the general reader. -- .
