Archaeology and its Discontents: Why Archaeology Matters

By John C Barrett

Book Overview

Critically examines the state of archaeology today and its development throughout the twentieth century. It makes a powerful case that understanding how humans have created themselves should be the main purpose of archaeology, and that archaeology matters precisely because of the insights it can offer in this area.
