Covers the ways in which material culture is understood and preserved in museums and how the nature of history is itself in flux.

Finding Meaning in the Past

Interpreting Archaeology

This volume provides a forum for debate between varied approaches to the past. The authors, drawn from Europe, North America, Asia and Australasia, represent many different strands of archaeology. They address the philosophical issues involved in interpretation and a desire among archaeologists to come to terms with their own subjective approaches to the material they study, a recognition of how past researchers have also imposed their own value systems on the evidence which they presented.
