Space and Politics

I have to read a chapter from Upton's 'The Art and Mystery of historical archaeology'. Every sentence is so incredibly dense that it's taken me 1.5hrs to get through 2 pages of it. Im yet to find a link between what i've read and the topic, Space and Politics.



I am confused and distracted and class discussions about our readings are worth 20% of this course.

"Once the simple relationship between an artifact, a person, and an action or intention is questioned, the building blocks of material culture study, the artifact-intention-person triad, must be recast to be adequate to the city-artifact" Upton (1992)

Yeh, i have to pretend to understand nonsensical sentences like that for 23 pages.
