| Zusammenfassung: | How do archaeologists make effective use of physical traces and material culture as repositories of evidence? Material Evidence takes a resolutely case-based approach to this question, exploring instances of exemplary practice, key challenges, instructive failures, and innovative developments in the use of archaeological data as evidence. The goal is to bring to the surface the wisdom of practice, teasing out norms of archaeological reasoning from evidence. Archaeologists make compelling use of an enormously diverse range of material evidence, from garbage dumps to monuments, from finely crafted artifacts rich with cultural significance to the detritus of everyday life and the inadvertent transformation of landscapes over the long term. Each contributor to Material Evidence identifies a particular type of evidence with which they grapple and considers, with reference to concrete examples, how archaeologists construct evidential claims, critically assess them, and bring them to bear on pivotal questions about the cultural past. Historians, cultural anthropologists, philosophers, and science studies scholars are increasingly interested in working with material things as objects of inquiry and as evidence - and they acknowledge on all sides just how challenging this is. One of the central messages of the book is that close analysis of archaeological best practice can yield constructive guidelines for practice that have much to offer archaeologists and those in related fields |

Each contributor to Material Evidence identifies a particular type of evidence with which they grapple and considers, with reference to concrete examples, how archaeologists construct evidential claims, critically assess them, and bring them to bear on pivotal questions about the cultural past. Historians, cultural anthropologists, philosophers, and science studies scholars are increasingly interested in working with material things as objects of inquiry and as evidence - and they acknowledge on all sides just how challenging this is. One of the central messages of the book is that close analysis of archaeological best practice can yield constructive guidelines for practice that have much to offer archaeologists and those in related fields Archaeology / Philosophy Archaeology / Methodology Material culture Archäologie Philosophie Archaeology Philosophy Archaeology Methodology Methode (DE-588)4038971-6 gnd rswk-swf Archäologie (DE-588)4002827-6 gnd rswk-swf Sachkultur (DE-588)4051157-1 gnd rswk-swf Archäologie (DE-588)4002827-6 s Methode (DE-588)4038971-6 s Sachkultur (DE-588)4051157-1 s DE-604 Chapman, Robert 1949- (DE-588)1045405493 edt Wylie, Alison 1954- (DE-588)135832381 edt Anderson, Terence J. ctb Erscheint auch als Druck-Ausgabe Material evidence : learning from archaeological practice Oxfordshire, England ; New York : Routledge, c2015 xx, 361 pages 9780415837453 |
