Abstract The abstract describing the content of the publication or report |
Argues that archaeologists should become more critical of their assumptions when studying prehistoric settlements in Europe, stressing that they must learn to recognise the difference of the past. Traditional studies of later prehistoric settlements ask a limited range of questions of the data and portray past worlds which are immediately familiar to our own lived experience. The paper argues that such visions risk being modernist fantasies in prehistory, and suggests that we can avoid writing the past as if it were the same as the present. Offering a contrastive archaeology of Iron Age settlement in southern England, it illustrates a very different past to that of our expectations through considerations of how material entered the archaeological record, of the symbolic aspects of settlement layout, and of the nature of past subjectivities. | ||||
