In this revised thesis Matt Edgeworth views archaeological theory and practice through the eyes of an ethnographer. He examines the act of fieldwork for example as a craft that can be recorded and analysed as an ethnographer would treat his subject. Looking at subjectivity and objectivity in archaeological practice and inference, and at how excavated material becomes transformed into data, he argues that archaeologists and ethnographers should be as willing to go through the process of scrutinising themselves and their actions, as they do so on others.
