Reduced to bare bones, network analysis is a way of understanding the world around us — a way called relational thinking — that is liberating but challenging. Using this handbook, researchers learn to develop historical and archaeological research questions anchored in DYRA. Undergraduate and graduate students, as well as professional historians and archaeologists can consult on issues that range from hypothesis-driven research to critiquing dominant historical narratives, especially those that have tended to ignore the diversity of the archaeological record.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTrade Review\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e \t\u003cem\u003e\" What I like about the whole book is the emphasis on historical and archaeological research as ‘not the search for truth, but as a venue to test hypotheses – research that is testable, refutable, and replicable.’”\u003c\/em\u003e \u003cstrong\u003e• Stephen Acabado\u003c\/strong\u003e, University of California-Los Angeles\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e \tList of figures\u003cbr\u003e \tAcknowledgements\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \t\u003cstrong\u003eIntroduction:\u003c\/strong\u003e History Matters\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \t\u003cstrong\u003eChapter 1.\u003c\/strong\u003e Dynamic Relational Analysis\u003cbr\u003e \t\u003cstrong\u003eChapter 2.\u003c\/strong\u003e Start With a Question\u003cbr\u003e \t\u003cstrong\u003eChapter 3.\u003c\/strong\u003e Theories of History\u003cbr\u003e \t\u003cstrong\u003eChapter 4.\u003c\/strong\u003e Modeling Theories\u003cbr\u003e \t\u003cstrong\u003eChapter 5.\u003c\/strong\u003e Developing Hypotheses\u003cbr\u003e \t\u003cstrong\u003eChapter 6.\u003c\/strong\u003e Gathering Information\u003cbr\u003e \t\u003cstrong\u003eChapter 7.\u003c\/strong\u003e Analyzing Data\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \t\u003cstrong\u003eConclusion:\u003c\/strong\u003e So What?\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \tGlossary\u003cbr\u003e \tReferences\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Berghahn Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51042752430423,"sku":"9781800738690","price":99.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1739\/5799\/files\/9781800738690.jpg?v=1750955477","url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/modeling-the-past-archaeology-history-and-dynamic-networks-9781800738690","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
