Archaeological Theory in Dialogue presents an innovative
conversation between five scholars from different backgrounds on a
range of central issues facing archaeology today. Interspersing
detailed investigations of critical theoretical issues with
dialogues between the authors, the book interrogates the importance
of four themes at the heart of much contemporary theoretical
debate: relations, ontology, posthumanism, and Indigenous
paradigms. The authors, who work in Europe and North America,
explore how these themes are shaping the ways that archaeologists
conduct fieldwork, conceptualize the past, and engage with the
political and ethical challenges that our discipline faces in the
twenty-first century. The unique style of Archaeological Theory in
Dialogue, switching between detailed arguments and dialogical
exchange, makes it essential reading for both scholars and students
of archaeological theory and those with an interest in the politics
and ethics of the past.
In recent years, postcolonial theories have emerged as one of the
significant paradigms of contemporary academia, affecting
disciplines throughout the humanities and social sciences. These
theories address the complex processes if colonialism on culture
and society with repect to both the colonizers and the colonized to
help us understand the colonial experience in its entirety. The
contributors to Archaeology and the Postcolonial Critique present
critical syntheses of archaeological and postcolonial studies by
examining both Old and New World case studies, and they ask what
the ultimate effect of postcolonial theorizing will be on the
practice of archaeology in the twenty-first century.

Historical archeology studies once relied upon a binary view of
colonialism: colonizers and colonized, the colonial period and the
postcolonial period. The international contributors to this volume
scrutinize imperialism and expansionism through an alternative lens
that looks beyond simple dualities to explore the variously
gendered, racialized, and occupied peoples of a multitude of
faiths, desires, associations, and constraints. Colonialism is not
a phase in the chronology of a people but a continuous phenomenon
that spans the Old and New Worlds. Most important, the contributors
argue that its impacts - and, in some instances, even the same
processes set in place by the likes of Columbus - are ongoing.
Inciting a critical study of the lasting consequences of ancient
and modern colonialism on descendant communities, this wideranging
volume includes essays on Roman Britain, slavery in Brazil, and
contemporary Native Americans. In its efforts to define the scope
of colonialism and the comparability of its features, this
collection challenges the field to go beyond familiar geographical
and historical boundaries and draws attention to unfolding
colonialfutures.
