Abstract
[Autom. eng. transl.] his new edition of Theoretical Archeology is an opportunity to update and expand the first manual, in Italian, which discusses the ideas of archaeologists. Archeology is, in fact, a practical discipline, but the fact remains that what archaeologists do depends on what they think. Indeed, opinions and theories related to human life, social development, and the conception of history condition their work. The book therefore intends to look with greater attention to the present, and to the future, of a discipline that, for many reasons, is sometimes considered to be in great growth and sometimes in deep crisis. In addition to the history of ideas, the volume therefore deals with the theory-methodology-practice relationship of research, highlights the strong links that archeology maintains with anthropology and history, discusses the most recent disciplinary advances and closes proposing an Italian and pluriverse path , for the development of a global archeology.
