Contradictions of Archaeological Theory: Engaging Critical Realism and Archaeological Theory

by Sandra Wallace

Book Overview

Sandra Wallace argues that archaeological theory has become mired as a result of logical and ontological contradictions. By showing that these are a result of common underlying philosophical assumptions and fallacies this book is able to show how using Critical Realism as an "under labourer" produces a fresh approach to this discipline that is necessary to resolve prevelant contradictions.
