Archaeology uses material data to study the past, but material
remains are unable to speak for themselves. They need to be
interpreted. All archaeology depends upon the logical framework
used to understand data: the theory which underlies interpretation.
Yet archaeological theory often seems inaccessible or even
irrelevant, wrapped up in jargon and filled with obscure allusions.
Written especially for those with no previous knowledge of theory,
this book aims to introduce the subject in a way which is both
readable and which shows its relevance, and without a specific
theoretical stance. The range of theoretical views on some of the
themes and problems most often encountered in archaeology is
outlined, introducing a wide variety of concepts and approaches
equally relevant to the professional or amateur archaeologist,
student, or non-specialist reader of archaeological work.
