TIME AND ARCHAEOLOGY

The concept of time is salient to all human affairs, and can be understood in a

variety of different ways. Today, archaeologists are increasingly emphasizing time

not only in their interpretation of the archaeological record, but also in the way

our understanding of time plays a role in actually creating archaeological

phenomena.

This pioneering collection is the first comprehensive survey of time and

archaeology. It includes chapters from a broad, international range of

contributors, combining theoretical and empirical material and illustrating and

exploring the diversity of archaeological approaches to time. The contributors

contrast a scientific understanding of time with social, cultural and religious ideas

of time, and show how both are important to archaeology. While much

archaeological research into time has focused on the key issue of attempting to

understand how people in the past had different concepts of time, this collection

also shows how developing a fundamental understanding of archaeological time

is central to all archaeology, and impacts on its theory and practice.

Tim Murray is Professor of Archaeology at LaTrobe University, Melbourne,

Australia.
