Drawing on social theory and offering numerous case studies,
Archaeologies of Materiality is one of the first books to
explore materiality across time and space.
- Demonstrates the saliency of materiality by linking it to
concepts of landscape, technology, embodiment, ritual, and
heritage.
- Offers archaeological case studies ranging from prehistoric to
contemporary contexts, from Neo-Assyria, South Africa, Argentina,
Panama, and the United States.
- Explores the idea of a material universe that is socially conceived and constructed, but that also shapes human experience in daily practice.
