A companion to social archaeology
Lynn Meskell (Ed.)
The volume explores the encounter of social theory and archaeology since the 1980s. The volume comprises thirteen essays grouped into four sections -- Knowledges, Identities, Places, and Politics. Each section is prefaced with a review essay that contextualizes the history and developments in social archaeology and related fields including anthropology, social theory, politics, and philosophy. The volume traces the origins of social theory within archaeology, discusses different conceptions of social archaeology, and identifies key intellectual issues that will have a bearing on the discipline's future direction. It advocates a social archaeology that foregrounds the situated experiences of material life, the constitution of the object world and, concurrently, their shaping of human experience. Includes

The languages of archaeology: dialogue, narrative and writing
Rosemary A Joyce
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.
