This collection of essays, the bulk of which have been previously published by Emeritus Professor Tim Murray, ranges widely across contemporary archaeological theory and the history of archaeology while retaining a focus on the archaeology of Australia. The collection is introduced by a new essay ‘The evolution of archaeological theory’ that sets the agendum for the collection. In doing this, Murray explores the critical intersection between archaeology, philosophy and the social and cultural context of its practice in Australia and elsewhere. The collection brings together ideas about time, scale, and strategies for the evaluation of archaeological concepts and categories, which are then applied to an understanding of significant issues raised by writing the archaeology of Australia from the Pleistocene to the present. The essays have been drawn from over 30 years of research and writing about archaeological inquiry into the theories and methods of the discipline and will be of particular interest to archaeologists, historians, the managers of archaeological heritage, and advocates of the importance of indigenous perspectives on the histories of post-colonial societies.

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 argumentsthe curious issue of fact selectionthe use of analogiesthe role of archaeology in contemporary society and among present-day communitiesapproaches to understanding the pastand 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.

How do archaeologists make knowledge? Debates in the latter half of the twentieth century revolved around broad, abstract philosophies and theories such as positivism and hermeneutics which have all but vanished today. By contrast, in recent years there has been a great deal of attention given to more concrete, practice-based study, such as fieldwork. But where one was too abstract, the other has become too descriptive and commonly evades issues of epistemic judgement. Writing the Past attempts to reintroduce a normative dimension to knowledge practices in archaeology, especially in relation to archaeological practice further down the ‘assembly line’ in the production of published texts, where archaeological knowledge becomes most stabilized and is widely disseminated. By exploring the composition of texts in archaeology and the relation between their structural, performative characteristics and key epistemic virtues, this book aims to move debate in both knowledge and writing practices in a new direction. Although this book will be of particular interest to archaeologists, the argument offered has relevance for all academic disciplines concerned with how knowledge production and textual composition intertwine.
