Theorie | Archäologie | Reflexion 2

Kontroversen und Ansätze im deutschsprachigen Diskurs

The double volume “Theory | Archaeology | Reflection.

Both established and young academics contribute new impulses and approaches to the discourse or discuss existing approaches. The contributions in volume 2 focus on relations and relationships, time and space as well as models, analogies and abstractions in archaeology.
