Historical archaeology

"Historical Archaeology is unique in defining historical archaeology within an international context which is not confined to the age of European colonialism. The contributors advocate the study of all past societies with documentary evidence, and challenge the entrenched oppositions between prehistory and history, pre-literate and literate societies." "A number of themes run through the volume, including the relationships between material culture, power and identity, between the 'local' and the 'global', and between the past and the present. However, universalizing definitions of concepts such as colonialism or power and identity have been avoided in favour of research into the local manifestation of these phenomena in diverse social and historical contexts." "This book will be of interest to students and scholars of archaeology, history and anthropology, as well as professionals in cultural resource management."--Jacket.
