{"product_id":"9781461647690","title":"Ethnographic Archaeologies: Reflections on Stakeholders and Archaeological Practices","description":"Ethnographic archaeology has emerged as a form of inquiry into archaeological dilemmas that arise as scholars question older, more positivistic paradigms. \u003ci\u003eEthnographic Archaeologies\u003c\/i\u003e describes diverse methods, objectives, and rationalities currently employed in the making of engaged and collaborative archaeological research.The contributors to this volume, for example, understand ethnographic archaeology variously as a means of critical engagement with heritage stakeholders, as the basis of public-policy debates, as a critical archaeological study of ethnic groups, as the study of what archaeology actually does (as opposed to what researchers often think they are doing) in excavations and surveys, and as a foundation for transnational collaborations among archaeologists. What keeps the term \"ethnographic archaeology\" coherent and relevant is the consensus among practitioners that they are embarking on a new archaeological path by attempting to engage the present directly and fundamentally.","brand":"AltaMira Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47107368190192,"sku":"9781461647690","price":42.5,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781461647690_p0.jpg?v=1769889630","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781461647690","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
