Waste represents a category of ‘things’, which is familiar and ubiquitous but rarely reflected in archaeological and cultural studies. Perception of waste changes over time and practices associated with waste vary. The ambiguity of waste challenges traditional archaeological approaches that take advantage of refuse to infer past behaviour. Recent developments in research in the social sciences and humanities indicate that waste offers many more dimensions for exploration. This interdisciplinary book brings together scholars who demonstrate the potential of research into waste for understanding humans, non-humans and their inter-relations. In 12 chapters the authors cover topics ranging from the relationship between waste and identity in early agricultural settlements to the perception of contemporary nuclear waste. Although archaeological approaches dominate the contributions, there are also chapters that represent the results of anthropological and historical research. The book is structured into three main sections that explore the relationship between waste and three domains of interest: value, social differentiation, and space. Archaeologies of Waste will interest archaeologists, anthropologists, historians and other readers intrigued by the potential of things, which were left behind, to shed light on social life.

Citater

  • Faizahar citeretfor 5 år siden
    Waste in the first sense refers to some thing that human beings no longer want, that individuals or groups consciously reject, put in storage, and/or deposit, based on specific sets of aesthetic criteria that are invented and applied by people in a particular time and place.
  • Faizahar citeretfor 5 år siden
    may actively remove something that no longer holds value for us, or temporarily place it in abeyance when it is of uncertain or indeterminate value
