"Archaeologists are synonymous with artifacts. With artifacts we construct stories
concerning past lives and livelihoods, yet we rarely write of deeply personal encounters
or of the way the lives of objects and our lives become enmeshed. In this volume,
23 archaeologists each tell an intimate story of their experience and entanglement
with an evocative artifact. Artifacts range from a New Britain obsidian tool to an
abandoned Viking toy boat, the marble finger of a classical Greek statue and ordinary
pottery fragments from Roman England and Polynesia. Other tales cover contemporary
objects, including a toothpick, bell, door, and the blueprint for a 1970s motorcar.
These creative stories are self-consciously personal; they derive from real world
encounter viewed through the peculiarities and material intimacy of archaeological
practice. This text can be used in undergraduate and graduate courses focused on archaeological
interpretation and theory, as well as on material culture and story-telling"
