The microarchaeology of social practice The microarchaeology of social practice is a website that presents an archaeological theory developed by a research group based at the University of Gothenburg, Sweden. Microarchaeology is based on Sartres' theory of serial action, Foucaults' "archaeology" and the structuration theory of Giddens. It is built upon poststructuralist theory and contains elements from constructionism. Microarchaeology aims to analyse structurating practices within small spatial and chronological boundaries. It examines material evidence for evidence of social activity, which is then interconnected to rec From New Humbul Resources on August 5, 2005 at 10:30 p.m..
Indians of the Great Basin This website was originally intended as a series of course notes on Native Americans. Several sections present various arguments, from the environment to the material culture, art, religion and history of the Native Americans in the Great Basin of America. The site is dated 1996 and this is evident in the simplicity of the Web site, the included bibliography and the use of the name "Indians" for Native Americans. The texts do not contain pictures, but the arguments remain valid and overall this site is a good presentation to this subject for undergraduate students.
