Landscapes of Power, Landscapes of Conflict - State Formation in the South Scandinavian Iron Age (FUNDAMENTAL ISSUES IN ARCHAEOLOGY)

Tina L. Thurston
4.9/5 (27753 ratings)
Description:Tina Thurston's Landscapes of Power; Landscapes of Conflict is a third- generation processual analysis of sociopolitical evolution during the Iron Age in southern Scandinavia. Several red flags seem to be raised at once. Are not archaeologists now postprocessual, using new interpretive approaches to understand human history? Is not evolution a discredited concept in which societies are arbitrarily arranged along a unilinear scheme? Should not modern approaches be profoundly historical and agent-centered? In any event, were not Scandinavians the ultimate barbarian Vikings parasitizing the complex civilized world of southern and central Europe?Tina Thurston's book focuses our attention on the significant innovations of anthropological archaeology at the end of the twentieth century. A brief overview of processual archaeology can set the context for appreciating Landscapes of Power; Landscapes of Conflict. During the 1960s the emergent processual archaeology (a. k. a. the New Archaeology) crystalized an evolutionary paradigm that framed research with the comparative ethnography of Service and Fried. It was thought that human societies progressed through stages of social development and that the goal was to discover the evolutionary prime movers (such as irrigation, warfare, trade, and population) that drove social and cultural change. By the 1970s prime movers had fallen from favor and social evolution was conceived as complicated flows of causation involving many variables.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
