Artifacts & Ideas: Essays in Archaeology
Prehistoric archaeologists cannot observe their human subjects nor can they directly access their subjects' ideas. Both must be inferred from the remnants of the material objects they made and used. In recent decades this incontrovertible fact has encouraged partisan approaches to the history and method of archaeology. An empirical discipline emphasizing data, classification, and chronology has given way to a behaviorist approach that interprets …
The Spirit Sings' and the Future of Anthropology
Natives and Newcomers: Canada's "Heroic Age" Reconsidered
According to convential nineteenth-century wisdom, societies of European origin were naturally progressive; native societies were static. One consequence of this attitutde was the almost universal separation of history and anthropology. Today, despite a growing interest in changes in Amerindian societies, this dichotomy continues to distort the investigation of Canadian history and to assign native peoples only a marginal place in it
Anglo-American archaeology
Changing trends in the interpretation of archaeological evidence in Britain and the United States over the past 200 years are interpreted as a response to the rise and decline among the middle class of faith in a doctrine of progress being brought about by unhindered individual initiative. The unilinear evolutionism of the nineteenth century represented an optimistic expression of faith in the new economic order. It also stressed, however, the cu…

The Egyptians: An Introduction to Egyptian Archaeology
No longer from another planet
Over half of Leo Klejn's monograph-length article constitutes what might be described as an ethnography of Western archaeology; more particularly an armchair ethnography written from the perspective of Leningrad. Western archaeologists will inevitably react to it in much the same manner as native peoples react to ethnographic studies of their cultures. They may admire the industriousness and intelligence of the ethnographer and grudgingly admit t…

Principles of Egyptian Art
The archaeology of government
A broad range of data concerning political systems is embedded in the archaeological record. The present survey is general in nature but suggests that demographic, cultural, societal, geographical and iconographic approaches, especially when employed in combination, will further an understanding of the political organization of text‐free archaeological societies. This in turn ought to facilitate the use of archaeological data for testing more gen…
Archaeology and ecology
This paper traces the development of an ecological approach in prehistoric archaeology, relating it to other major theoretical developments. A distinction is drawn between a deterministic and an open‐system approach to ecology in current archaeology. The merits of these two approaches are evaluated and an attempt is made to forecast the implications that the open‐system approach will have upon future relations between archaeology and ecology
