The Pacific region has long been a focal point for theoretical exploration in archaeology, with the Pacific in Theory delving into the intricate interplay between theory and archaeological practice in this region. The contributors to this volume assess the ways in which archaeology in Pacific contexts has fostered specific theoretical inquiries and interests, while also examining how the Pacific is conceptualized within the broader realm of archaeological imagination. The Pacific islands have traditionally been viewed as a laboratory for testing and refining social theories, and this volume highlights their central role in global theoretical discourse. Through an examination of how Pacific models and exemplars have shaped and continue to shape approaches to the archaeological past, the authors shed light on the significant impact of the Pacific on the development of archaeological theory.
The contributors evaluate key theoretical perspectives and explore current and future directions in Pacific archaeology, paying close attention to the influence of Pacific people and environments on motivating and shaping theory-building. This book makes a substantial contribution to our understanding of how theory evolves to align with the unique characteristics and needs of specific contexts, and how these contexts in turn foster the reformulation and development of theory elsewhere. Scholars and archaeologists with an interest in the Pacific region, as well as students of wider archaeological theory, will find this volume to be a valuable resource.
