Condition: Minor rubbing. VG. reprint Minor rubbing. VG. 29x20cm, 218 pp, PAPERBACK. "Designed to appeal to a broad spectrum of archaeologists and historians, Documentary Archaeology in the New World outlines a fresh approach to the archaeological study of the historic cultures of North America which places history alongside anthropology, cultural geography, and a whole range of cognate disciplines. The authors' common belief is that historical archaeologists must develop their own frameworks for interpretation through exhaustive documentary research rather than simply borrow models from colleagues working in the prehistoric past" - Publisher's description.

Ranging from Coca-Cola, chimpanzees, artworks, and ceramics, to museums, cities, human bodies, and magical objects, the handbook is an essential resource for anyone with an interest in materiality and the place of material things in human life, both past and present. A comprehensive bibliography enhances its usefulness both as a research tool and as a classroom text.' -- Details from publisher.
