This volume provides a forum for debate between varied approaches to the past. The authors, drawn from Europe, North America, Asia and Australasia, represent many different strands of archaeology.

Theatre/Archaeology is a brilliant and provocative challenge to disciplinary practice and intellectual boundaries in both archaeological and performance theory

A contribution to recent debates on emerging Greek city states in the first millennium BC.

Archaeology is a way of acting and thinking - about what is left of the past, about temporality of humans and their material lives, about the processes of order and entropy, and about processes of creating, consuming and discarding at the heart of human experience. This title offers a window on this imaginative world of past and present.

This work is a guide to the discipline of classical archaeology and its objects. It assesses archaeology as a means of reconstructing ancient Greek society using the latest approaches of social archaeology. In addition, it outlines the history of the discipline.

In this analysis, Shanks and Tilley argue against the functionalism and positvism which result from an inadequate assimilation of social theory into the day-to-day practice of archaeology.

In Experiencing the Past Michael Shanks presents an animated exploration of the character of archaeology and reclaims the sentiment and feeling which are so often lost in purely academic approaches.

Classical Archaeology of Greece is for anyone who shares a fascination for the material remains of Classical Greece and wishes to understand how archaeologists have interpreted them.

Theatre/Archaeology is a brilliant and provocative challenge to disciplinary practice and intellectual boundaries in both archaeological and performance theory.

A fresh and invigorating contribution to the emergence of a philosophically and culturally informed archaeology, which challenges the disciplinary practices of both traditional and 'new' archaeology.
