  • Far from Equilibrium: An archaeology of energy, life and humanity

    A response to the archaeology of John C. Barrett

    Edited by Michael J. Boyd, Roger C. P. Doonan ...
    Archaeology is in crisis. Spatial turns, material turns and the ontological turn have directed the discipline away from its hard-won battle to find humanity in the past. Meanwhile, popularised science, camouflaged as archaeology, produces shock headlines built on ancient DNA that reduce humanity’s most intriguing historical problems to two-dimensional caricatures. Today archaeology finds itself ... Read more

Largely for that reason there are still many problems surrounding the ... Read more

  • From Stonehenge to Mycenae

    The Challenges of Archaeological Interpretation

    by Professor John Barrett, Dr Michael J. Boyd ...
    Series series Debates in Archaeology
    This book reconsiders how we can understand archaeology on a grand scale by abandoning the claims that material remains stand for the people and institutions that produced them, or that genetic change somehow caused cultural change.
