Archaeology at Home combines contemporary and deep time archaeology by human-thing entanglements - how things remember when left by their people, and how the integration of human-things has lines that run from today to deep time. The author attempts to balance personal experiences and scholarly archaeology. The case studies presented are all homes personally known to the author - the home of his father after his abrupt passing, the home of his uncle that was lost in a fire, and a Stone Age home he excavated many years ago. The text is aimed at academic readers as well as members of the general public who take an interest in human-thing entanglements and memories throughout time.
