But this perspective obscures the crucial importance of negotiation, cooperation and exchange. Shifting focus from the isolated scholar to the wider social contexts of her work, this volume investigates the importance of informal networks and conversation in the creation of knowledge about the past. The contributors take a closer look at the dynamic interaction that takes place between individuals, groups and clusters of scholars in the wider social settings of scientific work. The eleven chapters draw on a range of examples from Europe and North America, from early modern antiquarians to archaeological societies and practitioners working during the formative years of the modern archaeological disciplines, as well as more recent twentieth-century examples. Individual chapters engage with theoretical approaches to scientific creativity; knowledge production and interaction within sociology and geographies of science; actor-network theory; and the dynamics and tensions that inform the relationship between the individual scholar and her community. \u003ci\u003eCommunities and knowledge production in archaeology\u003c\/i\u003e caters to readers both from within and outside the archaeological disciplines. Primarily intended for researchers, teachers and students in archaeology, anthropology, classics and the history of science, it will also be of interest to the general reader.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"US \/ VERY_GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":50297415631121,"sku":"CIN0870783645VG","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/0870783645.jpg?v=1751045040"},{"product_id":"ecocide-in-the-ussr-book-murray-feshbach-9780465017812","title":"Ecocide in the USSR","description":"A dissection of the Soviet Union's legacy of health and environmental disaster, this book examines a former country of 103 cities - home to 70 million people - where the air is unfit to breathe and pollution fouls 75 percent of the water.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":50354795839761,"sku":"CIN0465017819G","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":51002597933329,"sku":"NIN9780465017812","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":51308198691089,"sku":"GOR003411701","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ VERY_GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":52458772070673,"sku":"CIN0465017819VG","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/0465017819.jpg?v=1751421451"},{"product_id":"national-security-issues-of-the-ussr-book-murray-feshbach-9789401081306","title":"National Security Issues of the USSR","description":"LORD CARRINGTON Secretary General, North Atla\/ltic Treaty Orga\/lisation In providing a foreword to this volume, I have to declare an interest.
