Review
"In "Reconstructing Archaeology, Michael Shanks and Christopher Tilley have produced an essential text for all who are interested in critical theory and post-structuralist approaches to archaeology."-"New Scientist "Shanks and Tilley have created a breakthrough that will touch all archaeology because of the seriousness of the issues it raises. They have written the end of innocence."-Mark Leone, University of Maryland
Synopsis
In "Re-Constructing Archaeology", Shanks and Tilley aim to challenge the disciplinary practices of both traditional and the "new" archaeology. It aims to present a radical alternative - a critically self-consious archaeology aware of itself as practice in the present, and equally a social archaeology that appreciates artefacts not merely as objects of analysis but as part of a social world of past and present that is charged with meaning. It is a fresh and invigorating contribution to the emergence of a philosophically and politically informed archaeology.
