Orser seeks to answer the question: "What is modern-world archaeology and why do we need it?" He begins by defining the frame of his inquiry by comparing historical archaeology to the concept of modern-world archaeology, and examining a case study in the latter. Orser then goes into the theoretical background and structure of modern-world archaeology before investigating microhistory, looking at the role of artifacts in modern-world archaeology, and examining the challenges to and future of modern-world archaeology. Orser, is a Research Professor at Vanderbilt University. This book is the first volume in the new Principles of Archaeology series. Annotation c2014 Ringgold, Inc., Portland, OR (protoview.com)
