This is the first work to address in detail the mutual relationship between ideologies of the past and present ideological conditions producing archaeological knowledge. Contributors focus on elements of life in past societies that “went without saying” and that concealed different forms of power as obvious and unquestionable. They show that Occam’s razor—the tendency to favour simpler explanations—can be an excuse to avoid dealing with the historical world in its full complexity.
