"Breaking the Surface will be a disruption to traditional archaeological approaches
to the prehistoric past. Having performed fieldwork on the early Neolithic pit-houses
of southeastern Europe for over 20 years, the author aims to confront a major development
in human history--digging, or the creation of holes. The book begins with a detailed
examination of the extant remains of Neolithic pit-houses, the roofed dugout structures
that are the earliest evidence for settled habitation in Europe. Rather than seek
confirmation for what has already been theorized about their use (e.g., housing, storage,
refuse), the author turns to the more specific actions of the people who dug these
holes in the surface, and, more critically, to the consequences that those prehistoric
actions had on those people's understanding of their place(s) in their ground worlds:
how digging into the surface altered their perspectives of themselves and others,
and of their world and of other worlds beyond the material and visible. The book turns
to how scholars in other disciplines, such as philosophy and linguistic anthropology,
have been asking similar questions about holes and the consequences of breaking and
cutting. The resulting book offers comprehensive discussions of the philosophy of
holes and perforations (particularly the paradox of a hole - does it exist, is it
beyond materiality?), the linguistic anthropology of cut- and break-words (what diversity
exists in the ways that extant communities talk and think about perforations and perforating),
and the perceptual psychology of concavities (the case that holes attract our visual
attentions)"
