“Joyce takes on archaeology's major themes, writing, and practice in her own engaging text. She has indeed produced a telling story. The book disentangles the enmeshed terrain of representation and narrative, and promises to make a lasting contribution to archaeological theory." Lynn Meskell, Columbia University <!-end-> “This is an engaging and readable study of a profoundly neglected topic in archaeology. The Languages of Archaeology constitutes an open and disarmingly honest investigation of how archaeologists write and indeed construct the past through this process. This is a highly innovative and groundbreaking piece of research, in which the aim of retrieving dialogue from its marginalized position is successfully achieved." Stephanie Moser, University of Southampton

This volume provides the first critical examination of the relationship between archaeology and language, analysing the rhetorical practices through which archaeologists create representations of the past.

* Draws on literary theory to discuss the ways in which archaeologists have used language to reinforce their views of the past. * Presents ideas about how language might be used to present a more satisfactory understanding of time and place in the archaeological record.
