Much of my work in archaeology can be described as critical theory. It deals with the following themes

• connections between the past and present
• disciplinary reflexivity and the history of archaeology
• the politics of archaeology
• archaeology as a mode of cultural production
• communities of archaeologists and their discipline
• temporality, history and historiography
