Interpreting the dialectic of sociopolitical tensions in the archaeological past: implications of an anarchist perspective for Iron Age societies

"Alternative Iron Ages examines Iron Age social formations that sit outside traditional paradigms, developing methods for archaeological characterization of alternative models of society. In so doing it contributes to the debates concerning the construction and resistance of inequality taking place in archaeology, anthropology and sociology. Constructing new social theory both archaeologically based and supported by sociological and anthropological theory, the book is ... for those looking to examine and understand life in the European Iron Age." --From publisher description.
