Overview

"This work tackles important questions about the diversity in archaeological theory and practice which face the discipline in the 1990s. What is the relationship between theory and practice? How does ""world"" archaeological theory differ from ""European""? Can one be a good practitioner without theory? This book brings together contributors from many different countries and continents to provide the a global perspective on archaeological theory. They examine the nature of material culture studies and look at problems of ethnicity, regionalism and nationality. They consider, too, another fundamental of archaeological inquiry: can our research be objective, or must ""the past"" always be a relativistic construction?"
