Assembling Past Worlds draws on new materialism and the philosophy
of Gilles Deleuze to explore the potential for a posthumanist
archaeology. Through specific empirical study, this book provides a
detailed analysis of Neolithic Britain, a critical moment in the
emergence of new ways of living, as well as new relationships
between materials, people and new forms of architecture. It
achieves two things. First, it identifies the major challenges that
archaeology faces in the light of current theoretical shifts. New
ideas place new demands on how we write and think about the past,
sometimes in ways that can seem contradictory. This volume
identifies seven major challenges that have emerged and sets out
why they matter, why archaeology needs to engage with them and how
they can be dealt with through an innovative theoretical approach.
Second, it explores how this approach meets these challenges
through an in-depth study of Neolithic Britain. It provides an
insightful diagnosis of the issues posed by current archaeological
thought and is the first volume to apply the philosophy of Gilles
Deleuze to the extended analysis of a single period. Assembling
Past Worlds shows how new approaches are transforming our
understandings of past worlds and, in so doing, how we can meet the
challenges facing archaeology today. It will be of interest to both
students and researchers in archaeological theory and the Neolithic
of Europe.
