Beschreibung:
<jats:p> This article interweaves the archaeology of three rooms from very different historical contexts - the Greek city of Corinth, nineteenth-century Wales and contemporary London. One aim is to raise questions of how archaeologists construct narratives around the remains of the past and to confront alternative ways of dealing with archaeological empirics. Another aim is to connect archaeology as a discipline with a much broader archaeological theme at the heart of modernity. Themes of power and performativity surface throughout in relation to individual agency and community. </jats:p>
