Read the Book OnlineThe Archaeology of Ethnicity. Constructing Identities in the Past and Present
In “The Archaeology of Ethnicity: Constructing Identities in the Past and Present,” Siân Jones explores the complex and dynamic relationship between ethnicity and archaeology. Drawing on case studies from around the world, Jones shows how archaeologists can use material culture to shed light on the ways in which ethnic identities are constructed and negotiated over time.
The book begins by laying out the theoretical framework for the study of ethnicity in archaeology, including discussions of identity, power, and the social construction of ethnicity. Jones then turns to case studies from a range of regions and time periods, including the Roman Empire, medieval Europe, colonial America, and contemporary Australia.
Throughout the book, Jones emphasizes the importance of a nuanced and context-specific approach to the study of ethnicity. She shows how ethnic identities are not fixed or static, but rather are constantly being negotiated and re-negotiated in response to changing social, political, and economic conditions.
One of the key themes of the book is the role of material culture in the construction and negotiation of ethnic identities. Jones shows how objects, architecture, and landscapes can all be used to signal ethnic identity, and how changes in material culture can reflect shifts in ethnic identity over time.
“The Archaeology of Ethnicity” is a thought-provoking and insightful exploration of a complex and multifaceted topic. It will be of interest to archaeologists, anthropologists, and anyone interested in the ways in which identity is constructed and negotiated in the past and present..
