Archaeology: The Key Concepts

Renfrew, A. Colin

This book does exactly what it says on the cover - `This invaluable resource provides an up-to-date and comprehensive survey of key ideas in archaeology and their impact on archaeological thinking and method.' An impressive who's who of current archaeologists, headed up by Colin Renfrew and Paul Bahn, discuss some of the most important concepts in archaeological theory and methodology today, as well as some much older theories that remain instrumental in current thinking. Just some of the more than fifty entries are: agency, archaeoastronomy, cognitive archaeology, epistemology, feminist archaeology, thinking about the landscape, the theory of social practice, the Three Ages, mental modularity, Darwinian evolution, uniformitarianism. An important source of reference, especially for students of archaeology. 298p (Routledge Key Guides, Routledge 2005)
