How do archaeologists think? How do archaeologists take the scattered and fragmentary remains collected from past settlements and create meaningful, reasonable interpretations of past human history? In the second edition of Archaeological Thinking, Charles E. Orser, Jr. provides answers to these questions and more by explaining in non-technical language the most basic elements of critical thinking in archaeology.
This book explores and explains such topics as:
the use of logic in framing arguments
the curious issue of fact selection
the use of analogies
the role of archaeology in contemporary society and among present-day communities
approaches to understanding the past
and the dangers of deceitful archaeological thinking.
Examples taken from the world of ancient aliens, mythical sunken cities, and mysterious creatures help readers learn how to separate reality from fiction regardless of their desire to become a professional archaeologist.
