Beschreibung
Archaeology at Home takes a deep dive into the entanglements between humans and their things. It explores the notion that things themselves "remember" when left by "their" people, and illustrates how the integration of humans and things involves connections running from deep time all the way into the present day.

Combining methods from contemporary and deep-time archaeology, and balancing scholarly archaeology with personal narrative, Hein Bjerck presents three case studies of homes known intimately to him - the home of his father after his abrupt passing, the home of his uncle, which was lost in a fire, and a Stone Age home he excavated many years ago.

This evocative approach to archaeologies of memory will be appreciated by professional archaeologists, and by general readers who are drawn to the study of the past and the things that connect us to it.
