Umeå; University of Umeå, Department of Archaeology and Sámi Studies, 2005. (Archaeology and Environment 18). Diss. 29,5x20,5 cm. x, 253, (1 blank) pp. With figures in the text. Original printed wrappers. Spine is insignificantly worn. A fine copy. With the initials "BW" in ink on the half title and the title (=Bozena Werbart, professor of archaeology). "This case study explores how geo-political power structures influence and/or determine the conception, acceptance and maintenance of what is considered to be valid archaeological knowledge. The nature of this contingency is exemplified through an examination of how the prehistory of Norrland, a region traditionally considered and portrayed as peripheral vis-à-vis the centre-South, was interpreted and presented by Swedish archaeologists during the 20th century."
