Abstract: |
The volume provides a critical examination of the relationship between archaeology and language, analysing the rhetorical practices through which archaeologists create representations of the past. The author draws on literary theory to discuss the ways in which archaeologists have used language to reinforce their views of the past, and presents ideas about how language might be used in the future to present a more satisfactory understanding of time and place in the archaeological record. She examines rhetoric, narrative, and dialogue as topics for archaeological reflection, discusses the recent development of experimentation with new forms of writing within archaeology fuelled by sources including feminism, post-structuralism, and critiques of representation, and demonstrates how this might lead to a sustained critical examination of writing. |
