About this book
Although historical archaeologists often explore similar themes, the
intellectual traditions in the United States and the United Kingdom
lead to differing interpretations of these themes. The contributions
to this innovative volume provide a bridge between a US-based
archaeologist and a UK-based archaeologist on the themes of landscape
studies, urban archaeology, memory and memorialization, gender
studies, the lives of industrial workers, and archaeological
biographies. The chapters are not meant to stand in isolation, but
rather provide a dialog between both groups. This work explores the
strengths of interpretive historical archaeology in the US and the UK,
as well as compare and contrast differing approaches. It aims to
foster debate and productive collaborations between historical
archaeologists from different geographic regions. It will of interest
to UK and US-based archaeologists, as well as those performing
interpretive historical archaeology in other regions who will benefit
from the insights it provides.
