23 november 1948
Ian Hodder is een hoogleraar archeologie wiens werk zich verdiept in de ingewikkelde relaties tussen mensen en de materiële wereld. Hij benadert het verleden door een lens van theoretische interpretatie, waarbij hij onderzoekt hoe objecten en omgevingen de menselijke ervaring vormgeven. Zijn onderzoek benadrukt de onderlinge verbondenheid van verleden en heden en biedt nieuwe perspectieven op historische verhalen. Hodder's wetenschap nodigt lezers uit om de aard van archeologisch onderzoek en de implicaties ervan voor ons zelfbegrip te heroverwegen.
First published in 1982, this book presents the results of a series of field investigations carried out in Kenya, Zambia and the Sudan into the 'archaeological' remains and material culture of contemporary small-scale societies.
