Abstract

This is the first book-length study to explore the relationship between archaeology and modern thought, showing how philosophical ideas that developed in the seventeenth to nineteenth centuries still dominate our approach to the material remains of ancient societies. Addressing current debates from a new viewpoint, Archaeology and Modernity discusses the modern emphasis on method rather than ethics or meaning, our understanding of change in history and nature, the role of the nation-state in forming our views of the past, and contemporary notions of human individuality, the mind, and materiality.

  • Orser's rendering of historical archaeology is now widely accepted (and thus also critiqued) as the benchmark definition of the field, and its boundaries are those of time, a decisive split between the Us of modernity and the Them of all earlier epochs, particularly prehistory.

    “Such a rendering of historical archaeology, now widely accepted (and thus also critiqued) as the benchmark definition of the field, calls our attention to the fact that its boundaries are those of time, a decisive split between the Us of modernity and the Them of all earlier epochs, particularly prehistory (Dawdy 2010; Thomas 2004).”

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
