Debating Archaeology

Know about the book -

Debating Archaeology is written by Lewis R Binford and published by Routledge. It's available with International Standard Book Number or ISBN identification 1315430630 (ISBN 10) and 9781315430638 (ISBN 13).

In this volume, the founder of processual archaeology, Lewis R. Binford collects and comments on the twenty-eight substantive papers published in the 1980's, the third in his set of collected papers (also Working at Archaeology and An Archaeological Perspective). This ongoing collection of self-edited papers, together with the extensive and very candid interstitial commentaries, provides an invaluable record of the development of "The New Archaeology" and a challenging view into the mind of the man who is certainly the most creative archaeological theorist of our time. A new (2009) foreword allows further reflections on his work.
