Re-constructing Archaeology

TRAMA

professional archaeologists and the public. When "Reconstructing Archaeology" was first published, it provoked a storm of controversy on both sides of the Atlantic. This second edition provides an updated preface and appendix, in which Michael Shanks and Christopher Tilley further develop their arguments, responding to their most vocal critics.

NOTE EDITORE

InRe-Constructing Archaeology, Shanks and Tilley aim to challenge the disciplinary practices of both traditional and the `new' archaeology and to present a radical alternative - a critically self-consious archaeology aware of itself as pracitce in the present, and equally a social archaeology that appreciates artefacts not merely as ovjects of analysis but as part of a social world of past and present that is charged with meaning. It is a fresh and invigorating contribution to the emergence of a philosophically and politically informed archaeology.
