Editorial Reviews

Review

A Choice Outstanding Academic Title of the Year

"In this archaeological pilgrimage A Companion to Social Archaeology has been a well-met companion on the road." Australian Archaeology

Book Description

A Companion to Social Archaeology explores the encounter of social theory and archaeology over the past two decades. The volume comprises 13 original essays grouped into four sections - Knowledges, Identities, Places and Politics. Each section is prefaced with a review essay prepared by the editors that contextualises the history and developments in social archaeology and in related fields including anthropology, social theory, politics and philosophy. The volume traces the origins of social theory within archaeology, discusses different conceptions of social archaeology, and identifies key intellectual issues that will have a bearing on the discipline's future direction.It advocates a social archaeology that foregrounds the situated experiences of material life, the constitution of the object world and, concurrently, their shaping of human experience.The book provides an invaluable reference for students and teachers studying the intersections of archaeology, culture and society. --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.
