Archaeology and Language I represents groundbreaking work in
synthesizing two disciplines that are now seen as interlinked:
linguistics and archaeology. This volume is the first of a
three-part survey of innovative results emerging from their
combination. Archaeology and historical linguistics have largely
pursued separate tracks until recently, although their goals can be
very similar. While there is a new awareness that these disciplines
can be used to complement one another, both rigorous methodological
awareness and detailed case-studies are still lacking in
literature. Archaeology and Language I aims to fill this lacuna.
Exploring a wide range of techniques developed by specialists in
each discipline, this first volume deals with broad theoretical and
methodological issues and provides an indispensable background to
the detail of the studies presented in volumes II and III. This
collection deals with the controversial question of the origin of
language, the validity of deep-level reconstruction, the
sociolinguistic modelling of prehistory and the use and value of
oral tradition.
