He uses the topic of memory to critique the treatment of artifacts as symbols by interpretative archaeologists and artifacts as units of information (or memes) by behavioral archaeologists, instead arguing for a treatment of artifacts as forms of mnemonic trace that have an impact on the senses. Using detailed case studies from prehistoric Europe, he further argues that archaeologists can study the relationship between mnemonic traces in the form of networks of reference in artefactual and architectural forms.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mia Karts","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51943637549344,"sku":"NEW052154551X","price":38.4,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/miakarts.com\/products\/memory-and-material-culture-topics-in-contemporary-archaeology-052154551x","provider":"Miakarts Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
