Problems in Neolithic Archaeology, Paperback by Whittle, Alasdair, Brand New,.... Problems in Neolithic Archaeology, Paperback by Whittle, Alasdair, ISBN 0521103894, ISBN-13 9780521103893, Brand New, Free shipping in the US Problems in Neolithic Archaeology is a notable contribution to the debate about how we can write prehistory. Drawing on both processual and post-processual approaches, it reaffirms the central role of theory and interpretation while accepting as permanent the uncertainty which makes the testing of archaeological hypotheses difficult or even impossible. Dr Whittle asserts in particular the need for greater self-confidence and for the formulation of new theory and questions more appropriate to the archaeological record. Th's specific strength lies, however, in a close contextual study of the Neolithic period in western and central Europe. In this respect it provides an admirable complement to his textbook Neolithic Europe.
