Theory in the Pacific, the Pacific in Theory explores the role of
theory in Pacific archaeology and its interplay with archaeological
theory worldwide. The contributors assess how the practice of
archaeology in Pacific contexts has led to particular types of
theoretical enquiry and interest, and, more broadly, how the
Pacific is conceptualised in the archaeological imagination. Long
seen as a laboratory environment for the testing and refinement of
social theory, the Pacific islands occupy a central place in global
theoretical discourse. This volume highlights this role through an
exploration of how Pacific models and exemplars have shaped, and
continue to shape, approaches to the archaeological past. The
authors evaluate key theoretical perspectives and explore current
and future directions in Pacific archaeology. In doing so,
attention is paid to the influence of Pacific people and
environments in motivating and shaping theory-building. Theory in
the Pacific, the Pacific in Theory makes a significant contribution
to our understanding of how theory develops attuned to the
affordances and needs of specific contexts, and how those contexts
promote reformulation and development of theory elsewhere. It will
be fascinating to scholars and archaeologists interested in the
Pacific region, as well as students of wider archaeological theory.
