商品描述
This book examines our understanding of the ways in which we produce and consume archaeological knowledge and proposes that this should play a greater role in our attempts to describe and comprehend the nature and purpose of archaeology, and the nature of archaeological knowledge. During the past fifty years prehistoric archaeologists have sought to promote or oppose several redefinitions of archaeological goals and approaches that have emphasized, variously, the liberating or constraining power of critical self-reflection. While practitioners have continued to expand the storehouse of archaeological data, they have also been engaged in active investigation of archaeological goals and approaches, and in intensifying debate over what it is proper or relevant for practitioners to do. Prehistoric archaeology is now much more than a method of data collection and analysis which is transformed into culture history (or exemplifications of material culture theory) by the acts of comparison and interpretation.
The central premise of this book is that the kind of understanding sought here should significantly improve our ability to work towards convincing solutions to many of the practical puzzles and problems with which we currently concern ourselves. The author also argues that this understanding will help to redefine the terms under which the collectivity of archaeological practitioners can be considered to be a functioning community.
商品描述(中文翻譯)
這本書探討了我們對於生產和消費考古知識的方式的理解，並提出這應該在我們描述和理解考古學的本質和目的，以及考古知識的本質方面扮演更重要的角色。在過去五十年中，史前考古學家試圖推動或反對幾種對考古目標和方法的重新定義，這些定義各自強調了批判性自我反思的解放或約束力量。雖然從業者持續擴展考古數據的儲備，但他們也積極調查考古目標和方法，並加強對從業者應該做什麼是合適或相關的辯論。史前考古學現在不僅僅是一種數據收集和分析的方法，這些數據透過比較和詮釋的行為轉化為文化歷史（或物質文化理論的例證）。
這本書的核心前提是，這裡所追求的理解應顯著提高我們朝向令人信服的解決方案的能力，以應對我們目前所關心的許多實際難題和問題。作者還主張，這種理解將有助於重新定義考古從業者集體被視為一個運作社群的條件。
