Description
Contemporary archaeology is polorised between the technically competent excavators, who have sophisticated ways of recording, analysing, classifying and describing their sites, and the social theorists, influenced by sceptical sociologies in science and cultural studies. This book maps the contours of these camps and shows that there is no necessary conflict between the aims and procedures of the various factions. Andrew Jones does this by emphasising the process of interpretations, which is, in his view, the main business of archaeologists.
