Abstract
After essentialism: archaeology, geography and post-modernity
Julian Thomas
3 - 27
Beginning by comparing the ways in which the related disciplines have respectively embraced new theoretical movements, this essay examines the tendency of various writers to discuss post-modernism as a single integrated philosophy. Many have attempted to dismiss post-modern perspectives by glossing over the diversity of approaches within the post-modern movement, but it is argued that these commentators are ignorant of the diversity of post-modern thought, which offers new and flexible ways to study the past.
Archaeology as dialogue: Middle Range Theory and Lyotard's concept of phrase
Joseph Kovacik
29 - 38
Attempts to clarify the reasons for pursuit of a theory to bridge the gap between objective data recovery and the formulation of a general theory of archaeology. This process is seen as a quest to produce meaningful narratives, as opposed simply to arguments and explanations based on logical structure and cognitive discourse.
The P is silent -- as in archaeology
John Carman
39 - 53
Looks at the history of political thought within archaeology from the sixteenth century to the present, showing how the present apparent exclusion of politics from archaeology came about. The germ of a revival of politically committed archaeology is seen both in post-processual theory and in the intrinsically political practice of cultural resource management.
Towards a theoretical framework for archaeological heritage management
Laurajane Smith
55 - 75
Provides an overview of archaeological heritage management, as practised in Australia, and considers the relevance of recent trends in archaeological theory. It is argued that the complex cultural and political role played by heritage managers is not fully appreciated.
Critical histories of British archaeology: an account of a meeting held in Cambridge, July 1993
Sam Lucy
J D Hill
77 - 90
Summarises twelve papers presented on the following topics: the history of archaeology, the impact of racial theory on archaeology, and women in archaeology.
Type and typology and writing the past: the case of the Cotswold-Severn monuments
Nicola Jane Bestley
91 - 103
A study of the area's Neolithic funerary monuments identifies local variations in design, which demonstrate clear cultural variation. As previous studies did not take all variables into account, they failed to identify these clusters, thus demonstrating a major pitfall of typological analyses.
