Archaeologies of Complexity

More about the book

Focusing on the evolution of archaeological practices, this book critically examines how archaeologists investigate past societies and the social changes they underwent. It explores the shift from the view of early human communities as simple and egalitarian to the recognition of increasingly complex power dynamics and social hierarchies that shape our contemporary world. Through this analysis, it engages with ongoing debates in the field, providing insights into the complexities of human development and societal organization.
