Debating Archaeology

In this volume the founder of processual archaeology Lewis R. Binford collects and comments on the twenty-eight substantive papers published in the 1980's the third in his set of collected papers (also Working at Archaeology and An Archaeological Perspective). This ongoing collection of self-edited papers together with the extensive and very candid interstitial commentaries provides an invaluable record of the development of The New Archaeology and a challenging view into the mind of the man who is certainly the most creative archaeological theorist of our time. A new (2009) foreword allows further reflections on his work.
