Series: Principles of Archaeology
Description:
Despite its slow development, historical archaeology has been steadily
maturing over the past three decades. Archaeologists today are exploring
daily life in the post-1500 world at an increasing pace, investigating
sites throughout the world--frequently locales where historical
archaeology was never before practiced--using a variety of complex
theories and perspectives. Given the explosion of worldwide research, it
is now possible to create a new historical archaeology: a modern-world
archaeology that explicitly explores modern life in all its variations,
extending from local to global scales of analysis. Focused on four
overarching elements of the post-Columbian world (colonialism,
Eurocentrism, racialization, and capitalism), A Primer on Modern-World
Archaeology is designed to introduce this new kind of historical
archaeology to undergraduates, graduate students, and everyone
interested in the material expressions of how the present world came to
be. Major perspectives are presented in accessible language and study
questions are provided at the end of each chapter.
