Book Synopsis Theory and Practice in Archaeology by : Ian Hodder

Download or read book Theory and Practice in Archaeology written by Ian Hodder. This book was released on 2004-08-02. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this latest collection of his articles, of which seven are written especially for this volume, Ian Hodder captures and continues the lively controversy of the 1980s over symbolic and structural approaches to archaeology. The book acts as an overview of the developments in the discipline over the last decade; yet Hodder's brief is far wider. His aim is to break down the division between the intellectual and the "dirt" archaeologist to demonstrate that in this discipline more than any other, theory must be related to practice to save effectively our rapidly diminishing heritage.

Book Synopsis Archaeological Theory and Scientific Practice by : Andrew Jones

Download or read book Archaeological Theory and Scientific Practice written by Andrew Jones. This book was released on 2001-12-06. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Is archaeology an art or a science? This question has been hotly debated over the last few decades with the rise of archaeological science. At the same time, archaeologists have seen a change in the intellectual character of their discipline, as many writers have adopted approaches influenced by social theory. The discipline now encompasses both archaeological scientists and archaeological theorists, and discussion regarding the status of archaeology remains polarised. In this 2001 book, Andrew Jones argues that we need to analyse the practice of archaeology. Through an analysis of archaeological practice, influenced by recent developments in the field of science studies, and with the aid of extensive case studies, he develops a new framework which allows the interpretative and methodological components of the discipline to work in tandem. His reassessment of the status and character of archaeology will be of interest to students, scholars and professionals.
