- Double-weighted statement
- This 264-page book is the first substantial treatment of the particular epistemic challenges faced by archaeology, in virtue of its being a historical science. It is the product of a five-year collaboration between a philosopher and an archaeologist, using philosophical theories of evidence to analyse detailed case studies from different areas and historical periods of archaeological reasoning, while also drawing on archaeological reasoning to challenge philosophical theories of evidence and develop a new alternative. It is therefore a synthesis of philosophy, archaeology and the history of archaeology.
