OverviewPsychology and Cognitive Archaeology demonstrates the potential of using cognitive archaeology framing to explore key issues in contemporary psychology and other behavioral sciences. This edited volume features psychologists exploring archaeological data concerning specific themes such as: the use of tools, our child-rearing practices, our expressions of gender and sexuality, our sleep patterns, the nature of warfare, cultural practices, and the origins of religion. Other chapters touch on cognitive archaeological methods, the history of evolutionary approaches in psychology, and relevant philosophical considerations to further illustrate the interdisciplinary potential between archaeology and psychology. As a complementary counterpoint, the book also includes an archaeologist’s perspective on these same topical matters, as well as robust introductory and concluding thoughts by the editors. This book will be an illuminating read for students and scholars of psychology (particularly theoretical, social, cognitive, and evolutionary psychology), as well as philosophy, archaeology, and anthropology.

Here, Henley and Rossano are to be congratulated for putting together genuinely interdiscplinary, and genuinely thought-provoking, exploration of how archaeology and prehistory can contribute to an understanding of human psychology through time and space. Louise Barrett, Professor of Psychology at University of Lethbridge, Alberta, Canada The archeological record provides unique insights into the history of human organizations and innovations and their spread around the world. These artifacts tell us something important about the social and cognitive demands of living in different historical epochs and provide unique insights into the psychology of modern humans. Henley and Rossano's book provides a superb introduction to this interdisciplinary approach and will be of interest to psychologists, cognitive scientists, anthropologists, and archeologists.
