Charles E.  Orser, Jr., demonstrates the need to examine the impact of  colonialism, Eurocentrism, capitalism, and modernity on all  archaeological sites inhabited after 1492 and shows how these  large-scale forces create a link among all the sites. Orser  investigates the connections between a seventeenth-century runaway  slave kingdom in Palmares, Brazil and an early nineteenth-century  peasant village in central Ireland. Studying artifacts, landscapes,  and social inequalities in these two vastly different cultures, the  author explores how the archaeology of fugitive Brazilian slaves and  poor Irish farmers illustrates his theoretical concepts. His research  underscores how network theory is largely unknown in historical  archaeology and how few historical archaeologists apply a global  perspective in their studies. \u003cem\u003eA Historical Archaeology of the  Modern\u003c\/em\u003e \u003cem\u003eWorld\u003c\/em\u003e features data and illustrations from two  previously unknown sites and includes such intriguing findings as the  provenance of ancient Brazilian smoking pipes that will be new to  historical archaeologists.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublished by: Springer\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublication Date: 1996-01-31\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFormat: Hardcover\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eISBN-13: 9780306451737\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDOI: 10.1007\/978-1-4757-8988-1\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDimensions: 234cm x156cm\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePages: 248\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Springer US","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47378655838348,"sku":"9780306451737","price":49.49,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9780306451737.jpg?v=1775710145","url":"https:\/\/lateknightbooks.com\/products\/9780306451737","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
