520    Incomplete Archaeologies takes a familiar archaeological 
       concept – assemblages – and reconsiders such 
       groupings, collections and sets of things from the 
       perspective of the work required to assemble them. The 
       discussions presented here engage with the practices of 
       collection, construction, performance and creation in the 
       past (and present) which constitute the things and groups 
       of things studied by archaeologists – and examine as
       well how these things and thing-groups are dismantled, 
       rearranged, and even destroyed, only to be rebuilt and 
       recreated.  The ultimate aim is to reassert an awareness 
       of the incompleteness of assemblage, and thus the 
       importance of practices of assembling (whether they seem 
       at first creative or destructive) for understanding social
       life in the past as well as the present. The individual 
       chapters represent critical engagements with this aim by 
       archaeologists presenting a broad scope of case studies 
       from Eurasia and the Mediterranean. Case studies include 
       discussions of mortuary practice from numerous angles, the
       sociopolitics of metallurgy, human-animal relationships, 
       landscape and memory, the assembly of political 
       subjectivity and the curation of sovereignty. These 
       studies emphasize the incomplete and ongoing nature of 
       social action in the past, and stress the critical 
       significance of a deeper understanding of formation 
       processes as well as contextual archaeologies to practices
       of archaeology, museology, art history, and other related 
       disciplines. Contributors challenge archaeologists and 
       others to think past the objects in the assemblage to the 
       practices of assembling, enabling us to consider not only 
       plural modes of interacting with and perceiving things, 
       spaces, human bodies and temporalities in the past, but 
       also to perhaps discover alternate modes of framing these 
       interactions and relationships in our analyses. Ultimately
       then, Incomplete Archaeologies takes aim at the perceived 
       totality not only of assemblages of artifacts on shelves 
       and desks, but also that of some of archaeology’s 
       seeming-seamless epistemological objects. [Elib]
