About this title: The mainstream archaeology of the seventies, 'processual archaeology', modelled itself on the natural sciences. It has been challenged in recent years by a 'post-processual' archaeology which draws upon the wider perspectives of history and social anthropology, insisting that account must be taken of the context and meaning of behaviour, and that the ideological uses of archaeology be recognized by practitioners. Ian Hodder, a leading figure in the new movement, argues in this book that in explaining the behaviour of past societies a concern with meaning must be joined to the study of ...

Description: Very good. ( Cambridge University Press 1988, Paperback. ) In this fascinating work, Hodder examines a number of important theoretical issues. These include, the relationship between history and archaeology, structuralism and Marxist archaelogy. The book itself is in near pristine condition. Spine and covers all excellent. Pages tight, clean and unmarked. The books only flaw is that it has the name of the previous owner on its first inner page. A really lovely copy of this significant work of ... read more
"Chapters cover major interpretive theories & approaches used by archaeologists. Presumes familiarity with theorists of the 19th - 20th century. Good for advanced undergrads or grad students who are familiar with theory & archaeology.
I found it difficult to read and I've done field work and took a PhD exam that included archaeological theory."
"Boy, now that was fun reading. Boy, I do love theory. I guess the book would be better if it was a little more approachable. I found it to lack enough examples to fully understand the concepts the authors were proposing; not that I really cared all that much anyways. I wouldn't have read this on my own, but class dictated that I read it. Boy, that was fun."
