Ciudad, espacio urbano y arqueología
La "fábrica urbana" plantea un marco conceptual y un utillaje teórico para comprender por qué una ciudad es como es en su estado final, en su resultado observable. A partir del producto final de la ciudad, del espacio, como la percibimos hoy, y de la visión del proceso histórico que nos ofrece la arqueología, podemos entender cómo fue la acción social que le otorgó una determinada identidad y configuración, el «texto» primigenio que otorga carta de nacimiento a ese espacio. Las aportaciones de Weber, Bourdieu, Elias o el geógrafo Di Méo ayudan al autor a construir una lectura de las sociedades en el espacio. El libro plantea un marco conceptual y un utillaje teórico para formular los interrogantes adecuados que permitan comprender por qué una ciudad es como es en su estado final, en su resultado observable.
International Handbook of Historical Archaeology
In studying the past, archaeologists have focused on the material remains of our ancestors. Prehistorians generally have only artifacts to study and rely on the diverse material record for their understanding of past societies and their behavior. Those involved in studying historically documented cultures not only have extensive material remains but also contemporary texts, images, and a range of investigative technologies to enable them to build a broader and more reflexive picture of how past societies, communities, and individuals operated and behaved. Increasingly, historical archaeology refers not to a particular period, place, or a method, but rather an approach that interrogates the t...
Andean Archaeology I
Study of the origin and development of civilization is of unequaled importance for understanding the cultural processes that create human societies. Is cultural evolution directional and regular across human societies and history, or is it opportunistic and capricious? Do apparent regularities come from the way inves tigators construct and manage knowledge, or are they the result of real constraints on and variations in the actual processes? Can such questions even be answered? We believe so, but not easily. By comparing evolutionary sequences from different world civilizations scholars can judge degrees of similarity and difference and then attempt explanation. Of course, we must be careful...
Handbook of South American Archaeology
Perhaps the contributions of South American archaeology to the larger field of world archaeology have been inadequately recognized. If so, this is probably because there have been relatively few archaeologists working in South America outside of Peru and recent advances in knowledge in other parts of the continent are only beginning to enter larger archaeological discourse. Many ideas of and about South American archaeology held by scholars from outside the area are going to change irrevocably with the appearance of the present volume. Not only does the Handbook of South American Archaeology (HSAA) provide immense and broad information about ancient South America, the volume also showcases t...
