Anthropology and Archaeology

The disciplines of archaeology and anthropology have, since their beginnings, influenced

and informed each other. Chris Gosden charts and analyses their changing relationship, and

provides a valuable and much-needed introduction to the theories and methods of these two

inter-related subjects. This volume covers the historical relationship and contemporary

interests of archaeology and anthropology. It takes a broad historical approach, setting the

early history of the disciplines within the colonial period during which the Europeans

encountered and attempted to make sense of many other peoples. It shows how the subjects

are linked through their interest in kinship, economics and symbolism, and discusses what

each contribute to debates about gender, material culture and globalism in the post-colonial

world.

This book is unique in its survey of both anthropology and archaeology. This dual consid-

eration is necessary as each discipline has continuously influenced the other. Together,

anthropology and archaeology can inform us of the full variability of life, past and present.

Anthropology and Archaeology is an indispensable guide to each discipline for students or

researchers studying archaeology, anthropology, or both subjects.

Chris Gosden is presently lecturer-curator at the Pitt Rivers Museum, University of Oxford.

He has held teaching positions both in Australia and the UK, and has published widely on

a range of issues in archaeology and anthropology.
