In marked contrast with the anthropological and cross-cultural approaches that have featured so prominently in the archaeological research of the last twenty-five years, this contributory volume emphasises the archaeological significance of historical method and philosophy. Drawing particularly on the work of R. G. Collingwood, the contributors show that the notion of 'history seen from within' is a viable approach that can be applied in ethnoarchaeology and in both historic and prehistoric archaeology. There is a discussion of short, medium and long-term historical structures in relation to social events generating observed material culture patterning. Examination of the relationship between structure and event within historical contexts leads to new insights into the interdependence of continuity and change, and into the nature of widely recognised processes such as acculturation, diffusion and migration.
