OverviewHow do researchers use dynamic network analysis (DYRA) to explore, model, and try to understand the complex global history of our species? Reduced to bare bones, network analysis is a way of understanding the world around us - a way called relational thinking - that is liberating but challenging. Using this handbook, researchers learn to develop historical and archaeological research questions anchored in DYRA. Undergraduate and graduate students, as well as professional historians and archaeologists can consult on issues that range from hypothesis-driven research to critiquing dominant historical narratives, especially those that have tended to ignore the diversity of the archaeological record.

Glossary ReferencesReviewsWhat I like about the whole book is the emphasis on historical and archaeological research as 'not the search for truth, but as a venue to test hypotheses - research that is testable, refutable, and replicable.' * Stephen Acabado, University of California-Los Angeles Author InformationJohn Terrell is Regenstein Curator of Pacific Anthropology at Field Museum of Natural History in Chicago.
