"This book shows how wetland studies can be placed within broader geographical, cultural and theoretical frameworks. The authors discuss how wetland archaeological discoveries can be understood in terms of past people's perception and understanding of landscape, and argue that archaeologists interested in the rhythms of life, and in cultural biographies of places and objects, should look again at the astonishingly detailed narratives produced by wetland archaeology. Finally, they consider the past and future role of wetland archaeologists in contemporary political and social discourses."--BOOK JACKET
