$34.95 Paper
This collection of
original articles compares various key archaeological topics—agency,
violence, social groups, diffusion—from evolutionary and interpretive
perspectives. These two strands represent the major current theoretical poles
in the discipline. By comparing and contrasting the insights they provide into
major archaeological themes, this volume demonstrates the importance of
theoretical frameworks in archaeological interpretations. Chapter authors
discuss relevant Darwinian or interpretive theory with short archaeological and
anthropological case studies to illustrate the substantive conclusions
produced. The book will advance debate and contribute to a better understanding
of the goals and research strategies that comprise these distinct research
traditions.
