Agency in Archaeology is the first critical volume to
scrutinise the concept of agency and to examine in-depth its potential
to inform our understanding of the past. Theories of agency recognise
that human beings make choices, hold intentions and take action. This
offers archaeologists scope to move beyond looking at broad structural
or environmental change and instead to consider the individual and the
group
Agency in Archaeology brings together nineteen internationally renowned scholars who have very different, and often conflicting, stances on the meaning and use of agency theory to archaeology. The volume is composed of five theoretically-based discussions and nine case studies, drawing on regions from North America and Mesoamerica to Western and central Europe, and ranging in subject from the late Pleistocene hunter-gatherers to the restructuring of gender relations in the north-eastern US.
