Themes in Settlement Archaeology

• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

This volume will be essential reading for students and scholars in archaeology, and will also be of interest to researchers in cultural anthropology and geography.

---

This groundbreaking volume addresses issues central to the study of prehistoric settlement including group memory, the transmission of ideology and the impact of mobility and seasonality on the construction of social identity. Building on these themes, the contributors point to new ways of understanding the relationship between settlement and landscape by replacing Capitalist models of spatial relations with more intimate histories of place.
