Reviews
In this exciting and interpretively timely volume, archaeology and social theory intersect to explore the materialization of memory. Drawing on diverse case studies, from historical and prehistoric contexts across the globe, contributors expand dimensions for critical understandings of 'the past in the past. Wendy Ashmore, University of California, Riverside Memory is a locus of struggle over identity, authority, and power. This collection represents the first serious attempt in archaeology to examine this struggle. As such, it is a path--breaking volume that all archaeologists need to read and contemplate. Randy McGuire, Binghamton University The distinguished editors, an anthropological archaeologist and a Classical Greek archaeologist, have gathered a formidable team to explore memorizations over a vast span of time, space, and cultures, from the Old World to the New, and from prehistory right up to the present. Paul Cartledge, University of Cambridge This is an excellent book which acheives what it sets out to do -- to place memory more firmly on the research agenda of contemporary archaeology.
