Synopsis "archaeologies of materiality"
archaeologies of materiality explores the philosophies that underpin materiality for specific cultural moments across time and space. drawing on social theory, this volume provides a range of object orientations and is one of the first books to showcase substantive archaeological case studies devoted to the exploration of materiality. from prehistoric to contemporary contexts, this collection explores the idea of a material universe that is socially conceived and constructed, but that also shapes human experience in daily practice. each case study demonstrates the saliency of materiality by linking it to concepts of landscape, technology, embodiment, ritual, and heritage. archaeologies of materiality will be of interest to students and scholars studying archaeology, anthropology, museum studies, and material culture studies.
