Re-Mapping Archaeology

<p>Maps have always been a fundamental tool in archaeological practice and their prominence and variety have increased along with a growing range of digital technologies used to collect visualise query and analyse spatial data. However unlike in other disciplines the development of archaeological cartographical critique has been surprisingly slow; a missed opportunity given that archaeology with its vast and multifaceted experience with space and maps can significantly contribute to the field of critical mapping. </p><p>Re-mapping Archaeology thinks through cartographic challenges in archaeology and critiques the existing mapping traditions used in the social sciences and humanities especially since the 1990s. It provides a unique archaeological perspective on cartographic theory and innovatively pulls together a wide range of mapping practices applicable to archaeology and other disciplines.</p><p></p><p>This volume will be suitable for undergraduate and postgraduate students as well as for established researchers in archaeology geography anthropology history landscape studies ethnology and sociology.</p>
