Archaeological Theory in the New Millennium provides an account of the
changing world of archaeological theory and a challenge to more
traditional narratives of archaeological thought. It charts the
emergence of the new emphasis on relations as well as engaging with
other current theoretical trends and the thinkers archaeologists
regularly employ. Bringing together different strands of global
archaeological theory and placing them in dialogue, the book explores
the similarities and differences between different contemporary trends
in theory while also highlighting potential strengths and weaknesses of
different approaches.
Written in a way to maximise its accessibility, in direct contrast to
many of the sources on which it draws, Archaeological Theory in the New
Millennium is an essential guide to cutting-edge theory for students
and for professionals wishing to reacquaint themselves with this field.
