In its original edition, Bruce Trigger's book was the first ever to examine the history of archaeological thought from medieval times to the present in world-wide perspective. Now, in this new edition, he both updates the original work and introduces new archaeological perspectives and concerns. At once stimulating and even-handed, it places the development of archaeological thought and theory throughout within a broad social and intellectual framework. The successive but interacting trends apparent in archaeological thought are defined and the author seeks to determine the extent to which these trends were a reflection of the personal and collective interests of archaeologists as these relate - in the West at least - to the fluctuating fortunes of the middle classes. While subjective influences have been powerful, Professor Trigger argues that the gradual accumulation of archaeological data has exercised a growing constraint on interpretation. In turn, this has increased the objectivity of archaeological research and enhanced its value for understanding the entire span of human history and the human condition in general.

It charts the emergence of the new emphasis on relations as well as engaging with other current theoretical trends and the thinkers archaeologists regularly employ.

Orser Jr.ISBN:881Genre:Social ScienceFile Size:50.42 MBFormat:PDF, ePubDownload:247Read:746This unique book offers a theoretical framework for historical archaeology that explicitly relies on network theory. Orser, Jr., demonstrates the need to examine the impact of colonialism, Eurocentrism, capitalism, and modernity on all archaeological sites inhabited after 1492 and shows how these large-scale forces create a link among all the sites. Orser investigates the connections between a seventeenth-century runaway slave kingdom in Palmares, Brazil and an early nineteenth-century peasant village in central Ireland. Studying artifacts, landscapes, and social inequalities in these two vastly different cultures, the author explores how the archaeology of fugitive Brazilian slaves and poor Irish farmers illustrates his theoretical concepts. His research underscores how network theory is largely unknown in historical archaeology and how few historical archaeologists apply a global perspective in their studies.
A Historical Archaeology of the Modern World features data and illustrations from two previously unknown sites and includes such intriguing findings as the provenance of ancient Brazilian smoking pipes that will be new to historical archaeologists. WengrowISBN:862Genre:Social ScienceFile Size:84.29 MBFormat:PDF, ePub, MobiDownload:190Read:1240In this authoritative and compelling 2006 survey of the archaeology of early Egypt, David Wengrow offers an interpretation of the emergence of farming economies and the dynastic state, c.10,000 to 2,650 BC. Exploring key themes such as the nature of state power, kingship and the inception of writing, Wengrow illuminates prehistoric social development along the Nile through comparison with neighbouring regions. Detailed analysis of the archaeological record reveals the interplay between large-scale processes of economic and political change and intimate material practices through which social identities were transformed, focussing upon ritual treatments of the dead. Employing rich empirical data and engaging critically with anthropological theory and the history of archaeological thought, Wengrow's work challenges the theoretical isolation of Egyptian prehistory and breaches the methodological boundaries that separate prehistory from Egyptology. It is essential reading for anybody with an interest in ancient Egyptian civilisation or early state formation.

Later, it witnessed novel experiments in food-production and unique trajectories to urbanism and the organisation of large communities that were not always structured along strictly hierarchical lines. Millennia of engagement with societies in other parts of the world confirm Africa's active participation in the construction of the modern world, while the richness of its history, ethnography, and linguistics provide unusually powerful opportunities for constructing interdisciplinary narratives of Africa's past. This Handbook provides a comprehensive and up-to-date synthesis of African archaeology, covering the entirety of the continent's past from the beginnings of human evolution to the archaeological legacy of European colonialism.
As well as covering almost all periods and regions of the continent, it includes a mixture of key methodological and theoretical issues and debates, and situates the subject's contemporary practice within the discipline's history and the infrastructural challenges now facing its practitioners. Bringing together essays on all these themes from over seventy contributors, many of them living and working in Africa, it offers a highly accessible, contemporary account of the subject for use by scholars and students of not only archaeology, but also history, anthropology, and other disciplines.

Abstract: This dissertation is a historical ethnography of colonization and conversion in Northwest Amazonia and their relationship to emergent notions and practices of indigeneity in the region. I trace the historical configuration of the different modes of colonization and evangelization through which the indigenous peoples have been incorporated first into the rule of empire (Spain and Portugal) and later into the body politic of nation-states (Colombia, Venezuela and Brazil). Catholic missions were the main frontier institution in the region until the end of 19th Century, when they started to compete with capitalist forms of colonization, and later in the 20th Century with other forms of evangelization, most notably evangelical Christianity. In the latter case, capitalist colonization and evangelization did not map directly onto each other given that evangelical conversion of indigenous communities was conceived as a threat to the sovereignty and authority of the state, which was previously mediated by Catholic missionaries. While the predominant interpretations of the massive conversion of Puinaves and Curripacos to Christianity emphasize these changes in terms of assimilation to settler society or as the outcome of messianic traditions, this historical ethnography emphasizes the role of indigenous agency in regional processes of conversion and colonization. New forms of Christian indigeneity since the 1940s thus emerged both in relation to other colonial projects and in opposition to them, transforming social relationships within indigenous communities as well as between natives and white settlers.
Indigenous appropriation of evangelical Christianity brought changes in ideas and practices related to the their past, culture, civilization, self, community, modernity and indigeneity. Conversion became a mode of subjectivation through which moral selves and communities were produced. New forms of development promoted by the state contributed to the emergence of new forms of indigenous leadership and community organization. State developmental projects and programs in the region articulated new forms of indigenous leadership and correlated ideas of what an indigenous community should be. The dissertation concludes by analyzing the political conflicts that have taken place in the region between environmental NGOs, indigenous political organization and the regional government regarding the implementation of multicultural legislation approved in 1991.
