Since 1950, archaeology has undergone a series of wrenching intellectual transformations that have shaped and reshaped the field's intellectual agenda, its relationship with anthropology, and its understanding of the human past. This seminar explores the shaping and reshaping of contemporary archaeology within the two dominant paradigm shifts of the last half-century: the rise of the New Archaeology and the critical response of post-processualism. We examine key texts and controversial papers, including works by Binford, Flannery, Schiffer, Hodder, Wylie, and Leone. A. T. Smith. Not offered 2009 C10; will be offered 201 0 -11.
