Description:

Provides a fundamental examination of the conceptual framework within which archaeology is practised today. The relation between theoretical paradigms and everyday archaeological practice is critically explored.

Synopsis:

This work takes as its starting point the role of fieldwork and how this has changed over the past 150 years. The author argues against progressive accounts of fieldwork and instead places it in its broader intellectual context to critically examine the relationship between theoretical paradigms and everyday archaeological practice. In providing a much-needed historical and critical evaluation of current practice in archaeology, this book opens up a topic of debate which affects all archaeologists, whatever their particular interests.
