Cultural identity is a key area of debate in contemporary Europe.
Despite widespread use of the past in the construction of ethnic,
national and European identity, theories of cultural identity have
been neglected in archaeology. Focusing on the interrelationships
between concepts of cultural identity today and the interpretation
of past cultural groups, Cultural Identity and Archaeology offers
proactive archaeological perspectives in the debate surrounding
European identities. This fascinating and thought-provoking book
covers three key areas. It considers how material remains are used
in the interpretation of cultural identities, for example
'pan-Celtic culture' and 'Bronze Age Europe'. Finally, it looks at
archaeological evidence for the construction of cultural identities
in the European past. The authors are critical of monolithic
constructions of Europe, and also of the ethnic and national groups
within it. in place of such exclusive cultural, political and
territorial entities the book argues for a consideration of the
diverse, hybrid and multiple nature of European cultural
identities.
