Non-anglophone Ethnoarchaeologies

Abstract

This chapter explores a number of dimensions of ethno-archaeology and its history that are brought to the fore when archaeologists in the non-Anglophone countries of Europe, Asia, and North Africa have their say. Among others, the examples discussed in this chapter include the relationship of ethno-archaeology and archaeologists to nation states and ruling ideologies through history, the importance of the interregional scale for the understanding of local process in ethnography, history and archaeology, and the potentially fruitful relationships between ethno-archaeology and material culture studies.
