 Shanks – Archaeology/politics
There are those in archaeology and other humanities and social sciences uneasy with disciplinary change, the questioning or critique of orthodoxy, the renegotiation of disciplinary boundaries, the recycling of ideas, the necessity of learning new techniques and skills, the doubts raised by theorising how disciplines construct knowledge (Flannery 1982).
Archaeology is a hybrid practice and I think this is more useful and indeed more correct than seeing archaeology as beginning with method and an epistemological relationship between past and present.
Archaeology precipitates political issues in which many archaeologists feel helpless or at a loss for words, other than those which assert their expertise in representing an image of what may have happened in the past.

Binford's contribution to archaeology was as much on the theoretical as on the practical side.
He advocated the concept of processualism, which argued that no site could be truly understood without an understanding of how it had been created, the corollary being that any excavation or archaeological investigation should begin with a theory against which the evidence could be tested.
In the process of analysing the use and exchange of copper artefacts in North America, he developed a theory about the development of cultures which was as much anthropology as archaeology.

 Bryn Mawr Classical Review 2004.06.25
Landscape archaeology and surface survey are well treated by Wilkinson and Bintliff, the latter of whom makes a rather unexpected declaration of the importance of fieldwork and the ordering of resulting data over and above his own contributions to 'theory debates in archaeology' (400).
Art and archaeology (and anthropology to a lesser extent) are compared and contrasted in a multi-authored chapter (Corbey, Layton, Tanner), which is indeed one of the most useful for any person working in visual culture.
In one instance we learn that archaeology was invented as a discipline alongside art history during the 18th century (357), while in another we are told that its common origin is with anthropology in the late 19th (473).

In the field of archaeology, none of these essential functions of higher education (generation of new knowledge, introduction of that new knowledge across a society’s educational institutions, or preservation/transmission of esoteric knowledge)can happen absent rigorous graduate training.
Essential to sustaining graduate educational programs in archaeology is development of a new generation of University faculty who can provide students with training in research, teaching techniques, cultural resource management skills, and ongoing curriculum development (in the field, laboratory or library).

This attempt was one of the most highly touted examples in "new archaeology" of how ethnological questions of social structure might be addressed using archaeological data.

 Robertshaw, Peter. "Sibling Rivalry? The Intersection of Archaeology and History"
Vansina (p.396) identifies the strengths of archaeology as the recovery of material evidence, and the reconstruction of "situations" and the lives of ordinary folk.
Archaeology's weaknesses are deemed to be (1) "a nearly total adherence to neo-evolutionary theory;" (2) "the refusal to recognize fully the role of contingency by sticking to the use of theoretical models;" (3) "the extravagant use of extrapolation;" and (4) "the lack of contemporary testimony to limit the free range of the imagination" (p.396).
In the 1960's, archaeology's contribution to African history was thought to be primarily the provision of dating evidence and the elucidation of past migration routes.

Much of the work in quantitative methods and computing is not 'mainstream' archaeology (whatever that is) and consequently does not reach the major journals, any more than the majority of site reports or local studies do.
Notable amongst these is the Computer Applications in Archaeology Conference in the UK, held every year for around 20 years.
A lot of the material, particularly in the smaller publications, is fairly technical, but one can often glean the major aspects of what they are doing fromn a superficial glance - the details are often not very relevant unless you were trying to do something in the same field.

From 1900 to 1968, Paris saw itself as the world capital of the visual arts, a global magnet for artists attracted by the dynamism of the French capital and the spirit of creativity that prevailed.
Beginning in 1900 with the World Fair, and ending with the street riots in 1968, the Royal Academy’s ambitious exhibition of over 250 paintings and sculptures attempts to explore the dramatic impact of the major art movements that emerged in the context of social and political change in Paris.
