About the book

"This important book examines archaeology's engagement with semiotics, from its early structuralist beginnings to its more recent Peircian encounters. Its central thesis is that archaeology is a distinctive kind of semiotic enterprise; one devoted to giving meaning to the past in the present through the study of materiality. It compliments standard studies of linguistics and reformulates contemporary theories of material culture."--BOOK JACKET.
