Material Culture and Other Things aims to broaden up the fields of inquiries in archaeology through a post-disciplinary approach to the study of material culture and other things. The contributors in this book lay emphasis on different types of materiality in the constitution of social life, which offer new perspectives to both the present and the past, and hence, exploring what "archaeology" can be.
