Historical Archaeology (Blackwell Studies in Global Archaeology) Reviews

Historical Archaeology (Blackwell Studies in Global Archaeology)





In Historical Archaeology, readers will find lively current debates and case studies in historical archaeology selected from around the world, including North America, Latin America, Africa, the Pacific, and Europe. Written by experts in the field, this volume explores how historical archaeologists think about their work and how they piece together information from both material culture and documents to create an understanding of the lives and struggles of people who lived during the course of the last several centuries.

Each chapter, whether topical or regional, engages with current theory in an accessible manner, resulting in a book that is truly global in its approach. Although examining wide-reaching issues of international significance and impact, Historical Archaeology does not subsume local experiences of people into global patterns; instead, it examines the character of local identities and lives. The book serves not only to summarize the current state of historical archaeology as represented by experts in the field, but also to set the course for the field in decades to come.
