Archaeology at Home Summary

Archaeology at Home: Notes on Things, Life and Time by Hein Bjerck

Archaeology at Home takes a deep dive into the entanglements between humans and their things. It explores the notion that things themselves remember when left by their people and illustrates how the integration of humans and things involves connections running all the way from the present into deep time. Combining methods from contemporary and deep-time archaeology and balancing scholarly archaeology with personal narrative, Hein Bjerck presents three case studies of homes all intimately known to him - the home of his father after his abrupt passing, the home of his uncle that was lost in a fire, and a Stone Age home he excavated many years ago. This evocative approach to archaeologies of memory will be appreciated by professional archaeologists, and by general readers who are drawn to the study of the past and the things that connect us with it.
