Movement is fundamentally concerned with the relationship(s) among time, object, person, and space. The volume argues that understanding movement in the past requires a shift away from traditional, fieldwork-based archaeological ontologies towards fluid, trajectory-based studies. Archaeology, by its very nature, locates objects frozen in space (literally in their three-dimensional matrices) at sites that are often stripped of people. An archaeology of movement must break away from this stasis and cut new pathways that trace the boundary-crossing contextuality inherent in object\/person mobility. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e                Essays in this volume build on these new approaches, confronting issues of movement from a variety of perspectives. They are divided into four sections, based on how the act of moving is framed. The groups into which these chapters are placed are not meant to be unyielding or definitive. The first section, \"Objects in Motion,\" includes case studies that follow the paths of material culture and its interactions with groups of people. The second section of this volume, \"People in Motion,\" features chapters that explore the shifting material traces of human mobility. Chapters in the third section of this book, \"Movement through Spaces,\" illustrate the effects that particular spaces have on the people and objects who pass through them. Finally, there is an afterward that cohesively addresses the issue of studying movement in the recent past. At the heart of \u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eArchaeologies of Mobility and Movement\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e is a concern with the hybridity of people and things, affordances of objects and spaces, contemporary heritage issues, and the effects of movement onarchaeological subjects in the recent and contemporary past.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublished by: Springer\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublication Date: 2015-02-08\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFormat: Paperback\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eISBN-13: 9781489994837\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDOI: 10.1007\/978-1-4614-6211-8\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDimensions: 235cm x155cm\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePages: 265\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Springer New York","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49937470095500,"sku":"9781489994837","price":143.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9781489994837.jpg?v=1779040869","url":"https:\/\/lateknightbooks.com\/products\/9781489994837","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
