Presents an inquiry into the questions that count, proposing different ways of thinking about historical archaeology. Confronting topics of oral traditions, our orientation to archaeology, and the misrepresentation of various cultures, this title calls for a different pathway to a more nuanced, and more inclusive historical archaeology.
Historical Archaeology in Africa is an inquiry into the questions that count, proposing different ways of thinking about historical archaeology. Peter Schmidt challenges readers to expand their horizons beyond the ethnocentrism of archaeology, as it is defined and practiced in North America. Confronting topics of oral traditions, our orientation to archaeology, and the misrepresentation of various cultures, Schmidt calls for a new pathway to an enriched, more nuanced, and more inclusive historical archaeology.
