Debating Archaeological Empiricism - The Ambiguity of Material Evidence (Paperback): Charlotta Hillerdal, Johannes Siapkas Debating Archaeological Empiricism - The Ambiguity of Material Evidence (Paperback)
Charlotta Hillerdal, Johannes Siapkas
R1,287 Discovery Miles 12 870 Ships in 12 - 17 working days

Debating Archaeological Empiricism examines the current intellectual turn in archaeology, primarily in its prehistoric and classical branches, characterized by a return to the archaeological evidence. Each chapter in the book approaches the empirical from a different angle, illuminating contemporary views and uses of the archaeological material in interpretations and theory building. The inclusion of differing perspectives in this collection mirrors the conceptual landscape that characterizes the discipline, contributing to the theoretical debate in archaeology and classical studies. As well as giving an important snapshot of the practical as well as theoretical uses of materiality in archaeologies today, this volume looks to the future of archaeology as an empirical discipline.

Archaeologies of Us and Them - Debating History, Heritage and Indigeneity (Hardcover): Charlotta Hillerdal, Anna Karlstroem,... Archaeologies of Us and Them - Debating History, Heritage and Indigeneity (Hardcover)
Charlotta Hillerdal, Anna Karlstroem, Carl-Goesta Ojala
R4,607 Discovery Miles 46 070 Ships in 12 - 17 working days

Archaeologies of "Us" and "Them" explores the concept of indigeneity within the field of archaeology and heritage and in particular examines the shifts in power that occur when 'we' define 'the other' by categorizing 'them' as indigenous. Recognizing the complex and shifting distinctions between indigenous and non-indigenous pasts and presents, this volume gives a nuanced analysis of the underlying definitions, concepts and ethics associated with this field in order to explore Indigenous archaeology as a theoretical, ethical and political concept. Indigenous archaeology is an increasingly important topic discussed worldwide, and as such critical analyses must be applied to debates which are often surrounded by political correctness and consensus views. Drawing on an international range of global case studies, this timely and sensitive collection significantly contributes to the development of archaeological critical theory.

Re-imagining Periphery - Archaeology and Text in Northern Europe from Iron Age to Viking and Early Medieval Periods... Re-imagining Periphery - Archaeology and Text in Northern Europe from Iron Age to Viking and Early Medieval Periods (Hardcover)
Charlotta Hillerdal, Kristin Ilves
R1,126 Discovery Miles 11 260 Ships in 12 - 17 working days

This edited volume delves into the current state of Iron Age and Early Medieval research in the North. Over the last two decades of archaeological explorations, theoretical vanguards, and introduction of new methodological strategies, together with a growing amount of critical studies in archaeology taking their stance from a multidisciplinary perspective, have dramatically changed our understanding of Northern Iron Age societies. The profound effect of 6th century climatic events on social structures in Northern Europe, a reintegration of written sources and archaeological material, genetic and isotopic studies entirely reinterpreting previously excavated grave material, are but a few examples of such land winnings. The aim of this book is to provide an intense and cohesive focus on the characteristics of contemporary Iron Age research; explored under the subheadings of field and methodology, settlement and spatiality, text and translation, and interaction and impact. Gathering the work of leading, established researchers and field archaeologists based throughout northern Europe and in the frontline of this new emerging image, this volume provides a collective summary of our current understandings of the Iron Age and Early Medieval Era in the North. It also facilitates a renewed interaction between academia and the ever-growing field of infrastructural archaeology, by integrating cutting edge fieldwork and developing field methods in the corpus of Iron Age and Early Medieval studies. In this book, many hypotheses are pushed forward from their expected outcomes, and analytical work is not afraid of taking risks, thus advancing the field of Iron Age research, and also, hopefully, inspiring to a continued creation of new knowledge.
