The Archaeology of Islands《岛屿考古学》 夸克云 docx snb kindle pdf 网盘 azw3 下载

Archaeologists have traditionally considered islands as distinct

physical and social entities. In this book, Paul Rainbird discusses

the historical construction of this characterization and questions

the basis for such an understanding of island archaeology. Through

a series of case studies of prehistoric archaeology in the

Mediterranean, Pacific, Baltic, and Atlantic seas and oceans, he

argues for a decentering of the land in favor of an emphasis on the

archaeology of the sea and, ultimately, a new perspective on the

making of maritime communities. The archaeology of islands is thus

unshackled from approaches that highlight boundedness and

isolation, and replaced with a new set of principles - that

boundaries are fuzzy, islanders are distinctive in their

expectation of contacts with people from over the seas, and that

island life can tell us much about maritime communities. Debating

islands, thus, brings to the fore issues of identity and community

and a concern with Western construction of other peoples.
