Archaeology and Apprenticeship : Body Knowledge, Identity, and Communities of Practice

Apprenticeship is broadly defined as the transmission of culture through a formal or informal teacher-pupil relationship. This collection invites a wide discussion, citing case studies from all over the world and yet focuses the scholarship into a concise set of contributions. This book also examines apprenticeship in archaeology against a backdrop of sociological and cognitive psychology literature, to enrich the understanding of the relationship between material remains and enculturation.
