Abstract Childe (1892-1957) was one of the most eminent archaeologists of the 20th century, many of his ideas remain current, and to some degree all ideas must be placed in relation to his. The 14 writings her... were selected because they pertain directly to social archaeology, which is concerned not only with social relations and organization of the people who made the artifacts recovered in excavations and surveys, but also with the relationship between how societies are theorized and portrayed; and how those theories and portrayals impact contemporary politics, economics, and religion.

For the first time, a diverse collection of Childe's writings have been brought together in one volume. These fourteen essays, from his earliest seminal work in 1935 to his reflective essay 'Retrospect' written in 1958 shortly before his death, document the progression of this dynamic thinker. Thomas Patterson and Charles Orser places Childe's work in a larger context and explores Childe's ongoing value to modern readers. This volume will be of interest to archaeologists, anthropologists, and historians of social archaeology.
