Many consider Lewis Binford to be the single most influential
figure in archaeology in the last half-century. His contributions
to the "New Archaeology" changed the course of the field as he
argued for the development of a scientifically rigorous framework
to guide the excavation and interpretation of the archaeological
record. In this book, first published nearly two decades ago,
Binford provided students and general readers with an introduction
to his challenging and provocative ideas about understanding the
human past. Now available again, this important component of
Binford's intellectual legacy will convey the drama and
intellectual excitement of contemporary archaeology to a new
generation of archaeologists and others interested in the field.
Throughout the book, Binford questions old ideas and proposes new
theories based on his comparative archaeological and ethnographic
research in North America, Europe, South Africa, and Australia. A
new afterword by Binford surveys the direction archaeology has
taken since the publication of this book and shares his hopes for
the future of the discipline.
