The authors review political philosophies from Greek antiquity to contemporary evolutionism. They then examine how the State has been viewed and studied within archaeology in the twentieth century, and offer an alternative approach based upon historical materialism. Their argument that this method can be profitably used to study the archaeological record is a sophisticated and creative contribution to current theory, and will inspire debate about its implications for our understanding of human history.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Vicente Lull,Rafael Mico\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e OUP UK\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/05\/2011\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 320\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.05lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.50h x 5.50w x 1.00d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780199557844\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eChoice\u003c\/i\u003e 04\/01\/2012\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eVincente Lull\u003c\/strong\u003e is Professor of Prehistory at the Autonomous University of Barcelona. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRafael Mico\u003c\/strong\u003e is Lecturer in Prehistory at the Autonomous University of Barcelona.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eThis title is not returnable\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"OUP UK","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":45108126220403,"sku":"9780199557844","price":297.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0555\/9255\/0515\/files\/img_8e7c63f5-804c-4e10-8c9d-129152dd67bc.jpg?v=1781611098","url":"https:\/\/bookstorenmore.com\/en-de\/products\/archaeology-of-the-origin-of-the-state-the-theories-9780199557844","provider":"Bookstore N More","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
