Abstract:		 The third edition of this introduction to archaeological theory and method has been updated to address the burgeoning of theoretical debate throughout the discipline. The authors argue that archaeologists must bring to bear a variety of perspectives in the complex and uncertain task of constructing meaning from the past. While remaining centred on the importance of hermeneutics, agency and history, the authors explore cutting-edge developments in areas such as post-structuralism, neo-evolutionary theory and new branches of theory such as phenomenology. With the addition of two new chapters, and including new material on feminist archaeology, historical approaches such as cultural history, and theories of discourse and signs, the book aims to present a thorough analysis of contemporary archaeological theory.
