  • Challenges the traditional boundaries between prehistoric and historical archaeologies
  • Discusses how archaeology articulates such contemporary topics and issues as landscape and natures; agency, meaning and practice; sexuality, embodiment and personhood; race, class, and ethnicity; materiality, memory, and historical silence; colonialism, nationalism, and empire; heritage, patrimony, and social justice; media, museums, and publics
  • Examines the influence of American pragmatism on archaeology
  • Offers 32 new chapters by leading archaeologists and cultural anthropologists
