Excerpt from Method and Theory in American ArchaeologyIt has been said that archaeology, while providing data and general izations in such fields as history and general. Anthropology, lacks a systematic body of concepts and premises constituting archaeological theory. According to this View, thefarchaeologist must borrow his theoretical underpinning from the field of study his work happens to serve, or do without. Whether the latter alternative be an admis sible one does not seem to be an arguable point. Acceptable field work can perhaps be done in a theoretical vacuum, but integration and interpretation without theory are inconceivable.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
