Controversies in Archaeology

Controversies in Archaeology
- Used Book in Good Condition
Atlantis, ancient astronauts, and pyramid power. Archaeologists are perennially bombarded with questions about the â€œmysteriesâ€ of the past. They are also constantly addressing more realistic controversies: origins of the First Americans, the ownership of antiquities, and national claims to historical territories. Alice Beck Kehoe offers to introductory students a method of evaluating and assessing these claims about the past in this reader-friendly, concise text. She shows how to use the methods of science to challenge the legitimacy of pseudoscientific proclamations and develop reasonable interpretations on controversial issues. Not one to shy away from controversy herself, Kehoe takes some standsâ€•on transpacific migration, shamanism, the Kensington Runestoneâ€•which will challenge instructor and students alike, and foster class discussion.
