As in the present, past peoples commemorated, constructed, and
manipulated their past for their own social and political ends.
Archaeologists can use a variety of evidence to study social memory
and to recover past ideas about what the more distant past was
like. "Archaeologies of Memory" is a groundbreaking text that
presents a coherent framework for the study of memory in past
societies.
This unique collection of new essays brings together
contributions from both anthropological and classical
archaeologists. Essays, drawn from a variety of cultures and time
periods, engage a number of common themes, such as issues of
authority and identity, and the role memory plays in their creation
and transformation. "Archaeologies of Memory" is an accessible
investigation into the central issues in the study of memory and
provides an engaging introduction to this controversial
subject.
