Multispecies Archaeology explores the issue of ecological and
cultural novelty in the archaeological record from a multispecies
perspective. Human exceptionalism and our place in nature have long
been topics of academic consideration and archaeology has been
synonymous with an axclusively human past, to the detriment of
gaining a more nuanced understanding of one that is shared.
Encompassing more than just our relationships with animals, the
book considers what we can learn about the human past without
humans as the focus of the question. The volume digs deep into our
understanding of interaction with plants, fungi, microbes, and even
the fundamental building blocks of life, DNA. Multispecies
Archaeology examines what it means to be human-and non-human-from a
variety of perspectives, providing a new lens through which to view
the past. Challenging not only the subject or object of archaeology
but also broader disciplinary identities, the volume is a landmark
in this new and evolving area of scholarly interest.
