Routledge - Change and Archaeology (Themes in Archaeology Series)

Change and Archaeology offers a deep look into how archaeologists have historically described, interpreted, and explained change. As a key part of the Themes in Archaeology Series, this book addresses the argument that change has been under-theorised within the discipline. Because change is complex, writing about it in nuanced ways that capture the nature of our world remains a significant challenge for researchers. This text introduces relational approaches that give archaeologists more room to explore change in subtle and complex ways. By presenting a posthumanist, post-anthropocentric, and new materialist approach, the book provides a fresh perspective on how we understand the evolution of human and non-human history. It is an essential resource for those looking to move beyond traditional models and engage with modern theoretical frameworks in the field of archaeology.
