Archaeology and Colonialism: Cultural Contact from 5000 BC to the Present
ISBN: 9780521787956 / Angielski / Miękka / 2004 / 204 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. Ranging from the Uruk cities of early Mesopotamia, through the empires of the Romans and the Aztecs, to the colonies of modern European states, Chris Gosden presents a comparative survey of 7,000 years of colonialism. (Archaeology is the only discipline that permits such a long-term view across all forms of colonialism.) Gosden argues that modern colonialism, by giving rise to settler societies, is historically unusual and represents an important area for the long-term study of power and material culture.

This is of particular relevance to archaeology with its unique focus on the social development of the human species from its origins to the present.
Christopher Gosden probes the way in which the rhythms of social life derive from our involvement in the world, particularly as those rhythms unfold over many thousands of years.

For almost forty years the study of the Iron Age in Britain has been dominated by Professor Sir Barry Cunliffe.

An Archaeological Perspective on the History of Technology
ISBN: 9781009184212 / Angielski / Miękka / 2023 Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. This volume represents an introduction to a new world-wide attempt to review the history of technology, which is one of few since the pioneering publications of the 1960s. It takes an explicit archaeological focus to the study of the history of technology and adopts a more explicit socially-embedded view of technology than has commonly been the case in mainstream histories of technology. In doing so, it attempts to introduce a more radical element to explanations of technological change, involving magic, alchemy, animism – in other words, attempting to consider technological change in terms...
