Archaeological Approaches to Technology

Archaeological Approaches to Technology offers a unified, consistent approach to ancient technologies, teaching readers to look for insights revealed by comparisons among them. Without seeking to replace traditional studies of specific technologies, it explores the range of archaeological approaches to technologies by enabling comparisons across types of crafts. These comparisons in turn reveal how archaeological specialists have used technology studies to address a wide variety of social questions about our ancestors. With case studies organized by process or functional topic rather than material type, Professor Miller's scholarship creates a framework for collaboration among researchers in different locations working in different disciplines, traditions, and approaches.Miller, Heather M.
