Ethnographic perspectives are often used by archaeologists to study
cultures both past and present - but what happens when the
ethnographic gaze is turned back onto archaeological practices
themselves? That is the question posed by this book, challenging
conventional ideas about the relationship between the subject and
the object, the observer and the observed, and the explainers and
the explained. This book explores the production of archaeological
knowledge from a range of ethnographic perspectives. Fieldwork
spans large parts of the world, with sites in Turkey, the
Netherlands, Mexico, Brazil, Italy, Germany, the USA and the United
Kingdom being covered. They focus on excavation, inscription,
heritage management, student training, the employment of hired
workers and many other aspects of archaeological practice. These
experimental ethnographic studies are situated right on the
interface of archaeology and anthropology_on the road to a more
holistic study of the present and the past.
