archaeology and photography calls for a change in how we think about photography and timearchaeology and photography will prove indispensable to students, researchers and practitioners in history, photography, art, archaeology, anthropology, science and technology studies and museum and heritage studiesthrough twelve new wide-ranging and challenging studies from an emerging generation of archaeological thinkers, archaeology and photography introduces new approaches to historical photographs in museums and to contemporaryphotographic practice in the fieldoxfam books & music kentish town does a photograph freeze a moment of time? what does it mean to treat a photographic image as an artefact? in the visual culture of the 21st century, do new digital and social forms change the status of photography as archival or objective - or are they revealing something more fundamental about photography's longstanding relationships with time and knowledge?archaeology and photography imagines a new kind of visual archaeology that tackles these questionsthe book re-frames the relationship between photography and archaeology, past and present, as more than a metaphor or an analogy - but a shared visionthe book reassesses the central place of photography as an archaeological method, and re-wires our cross-disciplinary conceptions of time, objectivity and archives, from the history of art to the history of sciencesee oxfam website for delivery information read moreit argues that new archaeological accounts of duration and presence can replace older conceptions of the photograph as a snapshot orremnant received in the presentthe book challenges us to imagine photography, like archaeology, not as a representation of the past and the reception of traces in the present but as an ongoing transformation of objectivity and archive

The writers in this volume address the problems of archaeologyoxfam shop fulwood road archaeology has had an uneasy relationship with the theories of structuralismbut where the junction between post-structuralism and archaeology can be made, the results are innovative and enrichingmichael foucault used archaeology as a metaphor, opposing the "history of that language" to the "archaeology of that silence"but in the same way that new ideas have transformed the work of the archaeologists in the last 30 years, so too the conceptual interaction between archaeology and post-structuralism will have revolutionary consequencesthe post-structuralist movement is heterogeneous, and the different papers reflect the varied contributions post-structuralist thought can offer to the understanding of the past and the processes of its interpretationeach stresses the need to be in application of ideas that have developed in other disciplinesrecently, however, they have begun to face up to the difficult task of making the connections between the past interpretation, and the presentfor the most part, archaeologists have preferred to leave these theories of what lies behind their methods and perceptions on one sidesee oxfam website for delivery information read morethe connections are not easy to establish, as a great deal of theory seems of little relevance to the everyday practice of archaeology, and much of post-structuralism refers exclusively back to itself rather than to the more specific concerns of a historical discipline

Oxfam bookshop hove the general perception of the archaeology of the mesolithic in britain and ireland is that the period is somewhat impoverishedoften assumed to have an exceptionally limited range of evidence, the period is also perceived as a theoretical backwater, devoid of the vibrant, engaging narratives that have transformed other branches of prehistoric archaeology over the last 20 yearsthis volume, aimed at a broader archaeological readership, introduces this new generation of researchers and offers an urgently needed teaching resource for students who want a deeper understanding of the periodthe book's combination of high-quality academic research and comprehensive reading lists ensure that it will be of value to second or final-year students studying a module on the mesolithic, and essential reading for post-graduate studentssee oxfam website for delivery information read moreadditionally, a range of important mesolithic sites are discussed throughout the text, with new interpretations and theories being exploredthe book provides up-to-date information on a variety of important topics: technology, gender, subsistence, analogy, ritual, landscape and deathhowever, new approaches, producing a distinctive 'mesolithic' archaeology, are beginning to supersede the traditional accounts and demonstrate that such assumptions about the mesolithic are wholly misplaced
