Interpreting Style Hierarchies

  • Chapter
Book cover Style, Society, and Person

Part of the book series: Interdisciplinary Contributions to Archaeology ((IDCA))

Abstract

Archaeologists have defined style in a variety of narrow manners. Each definition has focused on a different, limited set of determining processes, some more active (e.g. Wobst 1977; Hodder 1982; Wiessner 1983), others more passive (e.g. Longacre 1964; Hill 1970; Sackett 1977; Hill and Gunn 1977). In contrast, the goal of this chapter is to help develop a more unified understanding of style that encompasses all determining processes and that integrates the various past views of it.
