✦ Synopsis

Presents and evaluates the radical changes in methodology derived from developments in other disciplines, such as cybernetics, computer science, and geography during the mid-20th century. It argues that archaeology is a coherent discipline with its own methods and procedures, and attempts to define these so that they can be applied consistently to archaeological data.
