Archaeological Invisibility and Forgotten Knowledge Conference
5 - 8 Sept 2007, University of Lodz, Poland
- Hunter-gatherer ethnoarchaeology represents
an indispensable tool for exploring the invisible web of
prehistoric reality that formed the foundation of life and for
breaking down archaeological theoretical barriers to gain an
insight into the logic and dynamics of societies very different
from our own. The conference will focus on recent and historical
observations from small-scale cultures similar to those who
created the archaeological record. Archaeology is the material
embodiment of people's past behaviour; the insights gained from
ethnoarchaeology can be complimented by corresponding insights
from cognitive archaeology to contribute to an understanding of
the material remains of past societies.
