of the French "Annales" School of History to archaeology merely amounts to yet another
semantic game, new fad, old wine in new skins. Some of the studies of this slim
collection do seem a bit contrived, consisting of attempts to fit particular evidence
(mainly from classical archaeology) into one or more of Braudel's three categories or
temporal constructs: evenements, conjunctures and structures de longue duree. Does
archaeology advance in its unending search for some new truth by merely borrowing and
applying terms that have common in Continental history for at least a half
century? |
