The publication in 1962 of Lew Binfords paper 'Archaeology as Anthropology' is generally considered to mark the birth of processualisma critical turning point in American archaeology. In the hands of Binford and other young University of Chicago graduates of the 1960s, this 'new' archaeology became the mainstream approach in the U.S. The realignment that the processualists proposed was so thorough that its effects are still being felt today. Predictably, processualism also spun off a number of other 'isms,' several of which grew up to challenge its supremacy.Archaeology as a Process traces the intellectual history of Americanist archaeology in terms of the research groups that were at the forefront of these various approaches, concentrating as much on the archaeologists as it does on method and theory, thus setting it apart from other treatments published in the last fifteen years.Peppered with rare photographs of wellknown archaeologists in some interesting settings, the book documents the swirl and excitement of archaeological controversy for the past forty years with over 1,600 references and an indepth treatment of all the major intellectual approaches. The contributors examine how archaeology is conductedthe ins and outs of how various groups work to promote themselvesand how personal ambition and animosities can function to further rather than retard the development of the discipline.
