	an ethnography of the neolithic: christopher tilley
		The task that Tilley sets himself, like the author of the poem, is to create a world based on assumed meanings; he is attempting to provide a set of suppositions and meanings based on what he considers to be the most likely type of relationship between one object and the next.
		Tilley's 'ethnography' of the broad timescale of the Neolithic is, in fact, little more than a review of the circumstances of deposition of certain items of material culture in the immediate vicinity of monuments.
		Tilley fulfils his need to create order from chaos and is, through the medium of this book, asking the reader for acceptance.

	SRB Article 8 (3)
		Tilley circumvents this concern by resorting to a stock and unsatisfactory post-processual position: we have no secure, objective knowledge about the past and that any understanding of the past owes much of its genesis to the concerns of the present.
		Tilley attempts to bypass the structure imposed by the textual approach by using metonymy, asyndeton and presumably synecdoche.
		Tilley does seem to acknowledge the limitations of text and much of the strength of this book is in its acknowledgement of the non-visual, especially in relation to the experience of the land as a moral, omniscient force that constrains human action and which is an entity that has to be propitiated and maintained.

	Book review. The Materiality of Stone: explorations in landscape phenomenology.
		Tilley discusses the various uses of these differing stone types in the architecture of the temples.
		This is exemplified by the concluding the chapter, where Tilley doesn't bother to reference a single thing on a whole range of key theoretical issues (intriguingly, apart from Richard Bradley).
		Tilley himself argues at the end that it is the written word which is key.

	Northern Earth - Rites of Passage
		Tilley also studied the individual motifs statistically, relating each motif with respect to other symbols and to where they appeared in the landscape.
		Tilley interprets this zonal sequence in terms of rites of passage.
		Tilley's explanation is reinforced by considering the form of some of the carvings.

	Northern Earth - Landscape As Theme
		What is now emerging is the realisation that the choice of a site for a particular habitual or ritual purpose and the act of journeying create a cultural dynamic that expresses itself in narrative, an oral tradition that unifies the people, the culture and the land, rather in the manner that native Australians constructed.
		Tilley suggests that in this way local societies were making explicit their relationship with the landscape, and that as cultural development proceeded an interaction with that landscape was developed that was transformative in function.
		Tilley argues that the ritual landscape of Cranborne Chase in Dorset takes this understanding even further; barrows in the centre of the Chase relate to other sites in the centre, while barrows on the edge of the area appear to relate to topographical features, perhaps to tie in the central area with the world beyond.

		Furthermore, Shanks and Tilley are Marxists, and it goes hardly with me to sit patiently through Marxist dogma I lived for a fair stint in a society that attempted "Marxism;" whatever it may be in theory, in practice it is a poor fit for any group.
		Shanks and Tilley argue that systems of material exchange, codified religious rites and rituals, and hierarchies of rank, are present-day reified constructs overlaid on a imaginary society we ourselves have created and defined out of artifacts whose meaning and order we have chosen.
		In effect, Shanks and Tilley suggest that in the older systems, change is used to explain change, and stasis is used to explain stasis.

	Re-Constructing Archaeology: Theory and Practice (New Studies in Archaeology) (Michael Shanks , Christopher Tilley) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
		Shanks and Tilley emphasize that the chief failing of the processual approach is that it is rooted in a "closed philosophy" which promotes a single, quasi-scientific approach as the only means to discern the truth about the past.
		In contrast to this view, Shanks and Tilley posit that not only is there no one single approach to the past, but there is no one single truth which can be discerned about the past through the archaeological record.
		While Shanks and Tilley do an admirable job of critiquing the positivist base of the New Archaeology and of elucidating the biases which inform present-day archaeological practice, they are not as successful when it comes to advancing a new approach.

	Sebastian de Vivo: Archaeology as Ethical Action in the Present (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
		Tilley might very well mention here that, in fact, we are knee-deep in a Western neo-imperialist totalitarian disaster, and, though we do not know it, we are as guilty as our Nazi counterparts.
		The ethics behind Tilley’s Marxist politics, therefore, is an ethics of empowering the general public with the intellectual tools that will allow a critique—and hopefully an improvement—of contemporary social and economic conditions.
		As should be evident by now, in “Archaeology as Socio-Political Action in the Present” Tilley has shifted the focus from recent discussion in archaeological ethics that center upon stewardship (responsibilities to preserve and share the archaeological record), and towards the political and ethical implications inherent in archaeological interpretation.

		In The Materiality of Stone, Christopher Tilley presents a radically new way of analyzing the significance of both 'cultural' and 'natural' stone in prehistoric European landscapes.
		Tilley's groundbreaking approach is to interpret human experience in a multidimensional and sensuous human way, rather than through an abstract analytical gaze.
		Tilley leaves no stone unturned as he also considers how the internal spaces and landscape settings are interpreted in relation to artifacts, substances, and related places that w

		Christopher Tilley combines theoretical interpretation with practical examples to show the significance of the concept of metaphor in the study and writing of material forms.
		Tilley argues that without metaphor human communication would be almost impossible and he shows how metaphors provide the basis for an interpretative understanding of the world.
		He then presents three archaeological and ethnographic studies of metaphors chosen to demonstrate the richness of the concept for understanding texts, objects and artworks.

		Tactile sensations, sonorous qualities, color, and visual impressions are all shown to play a previously unrecognized yet vital part in understanding the power of prehistoric monuments, from Neolithic temples to Bronze Age rock carvings, in relation to their landscapes.
		Tilley breaks new ground in interpreting human experience in a sensuous way, rather than through an abstract analytical gaze.
		Christopher Tilley is Professor of Anthropology, University College London, and author of several books, including A Phenomenology of Landscape.

		I find Shanks and Tilley's understanding of individual motivation a bit -- well, "aboriginal".
		After all, they've spend much of the book arguing that the past is always already in a struggle with the present for meaning.
		I'm not sure how they account for rightness when they are also non-essentialist, but that's their lookout.

	An Ethnography of the Neolithic - Cambridge University Press
		An Ethnography of the Neolithic bridges this gap, giving an accessible and up-to-date analysis of a wide range of evidence, from landscapes to monumental tombs to portable artifacts.
		Christopher Tilley also uses this material as a basis for a provocative and novel reconstruction of late Mesolithic and earlier Neolithic societies in southern Scandinavia, over a period of 3,000 years.
		His skilful integration of archaeological evidence with new anthropological approaches makes this book an original contribution to an important topic, whose significance stretches outside Scandinavia, and beyond the Neolithic.

	landscape discussion questions IV
		A good place to begin is Archaeologist Christopher Tilley's path-breaking A Phenomenology of Landscape: Places, Paths and Monuments (1994), which introduced to archaeology many of the topics we've already seen in the literature.
		In the discussion he brings together the ideas of the major phenomenologists as well as the practice/agency theorists (Giddens, Bourdieu, de Certeau, Foucault)-so it serves as a bridge from practice to phenomenology.
		How did Tilley characterize the new geography and new archaeology, in terms of their approach to space and their subsequent development of methods and models to analyze space?
