Abstract
Ola Wolfhechel Jensen (ed.) 2012 Histories of Archaeological Practices. Reflections on Methods, Strategies and Social Organisation in Past Fieldwork.
Highlights
Many studies have been undertaken of how scientists work in laboratories and in research institutes, there has been close examination of the influence that public gatherings, such as morning or afternoon coffee, have on the research process, and there have been occasional forays into understanding how field disciplines such as anthropology, archaeology and geology train budding archaeologists, anthropologists and geologists
The ‘practical’ side of archaeology is the place where students and teachers spend the most time in intensive study of both the practical and the theoretical elements of the discipline
Students get to really understand how archaeology works – what questions to ask, what tests to apply to knowledge claims, what strategies to apply in the field and in the lab to move research projects forward
Summary
This interesting book comprises ten case studies of this field research in action drawn from the UK, Germany and Sweden, and Swedish archaeology practiced in India.
