In line with the resurgence of interest in the history of archaeology manifested over the past decade, this volume aims to highlight state of the art research across several topics and areas, and to stimulate new approaches and studies in the field. With their shared historiographical commitment, the authors, both leading scholars and emerging researchers, draw from a wide range of case studies to address some of the main themes such as sources and methods; questions of archaeological practices and the practical aspects of knowledge production; "visualizing archaeology" and the multiple roles of iconography and imagery; and "questions of identity" at local, national, and international levels.
