Description

In these 1982 interviews Lew Binford, father of the New Archaeology, explains how in the early 1960s he pioneered the change from traditional culture history - archaeologists' educated guesses about past peoples' lives - to a more rigorous detection of social & cultural systems in the archaeological record. At the urging of the author-interviewer, Paula Sabloff, Binford delves into his personal history to describe the people & circumstances that led him to develop & propound his revolutionary ideas. He describes his years growing up in Virginia & Appalachia, revealing how the early influences of family, teachers, & the Boy Scouts gave him the strength of character to challenge authorities in archaeology even before he had earned his doctorate in 1964. His recollections of the army & undergraduate & graduate experiences provide important insights into his efforts to reorient American archaeology. Binford's intellectual legacy is placed in context in a postscript by leading archaeologist Jeremy Sabloff. An appendix summarizes Binford's field research, & two bibliographies list his writings & related readings. PAULA L. W. SABLOFF, a political anthropologist, is Senior Research Scientist in the Museum of Archaeology & Anthropology, & Adjunct Assistant Professor of Anthropology, at the University of Pennsylvania. JEREMY A. SABLOFF is the Charles K. Williams II Director of the University of Pennsylvania Museum of Archaeology & Anthropology. "Fascinating & essential reading for everyone concerned with current archaeological theory, & with the development of Americanist archaeology."--PATTY JO WATSON, Washington University, St. Louis.
