Archaeology is a social practice that is thoroughly embedded in the
contemporary world. This is nowhere clearer than in the Middle
East, a region that is today an epicenter of political and economic
tensions and ongoing conflicts. "Archaeologies of the Middle East:
Critical Perspectives" provides an innovative introduction to the
archaeology of this fascinating region, spanning 100,000 years from
the Paleolithic to Hellenistic times, and a window on both its past
and present.
"Archaeologies of the Middle East" explores the connections
between modern-day politics and the social context of
archaeological practice and underutilized approaches to
archaeological interpretation, such as: examining the ways in which
scholars write about the past, the portrayal of archaeology in the
news media, and the impacts of and on archaeology in volatile
political situations. Written by some of the top archaeologists of
the Middle East, this volume integrates scholars from diverse
backgrounds with a wide range of interests and intellectual
approaches to their research. "Archaeologies of the Middle East" is
carefully designed for student use and focuses on key themes and
time periods rather than offering a static overview of the history
of the region.
