This book is an exciting new look at how archaeology has dealt with
the bodily senses and offers an argument for how the discipline can
offer a richer glimpse into the human sensory experience. Yannis
Hamilakis shows how, despite its intensely physical engagement with
the material traces of the past, archaeology has mostly neglected
multi-sensory experience, instead prioritising isolated vision and
relying on the Western hierarchy of the five senses. In place of
this limited view of experience, Hamilakis proposes a sensorial
archaeology that can unearth the lost, suppressed, and forgotten
sensory and affective modalities of humans. Using Bronze Age Crete
as a case study, Hamilakis shows how sensorial memory can help us
rethink questions ranging from the production of ancestral heritage
to large-scale social change, and the cultural significance of
monuments. Hamilakis points the way to reconstituting archaeology
as a sensorial and affective multi-temporal practice.
