Summary The Emergent Past approaches archaeological research as an engagement within an assemblage - a particular configuration of materials, things, places, humans, animals, plants, techniques, technologies, forces, and ideas.

Recognising the successive relationships that give rise to and reshaped assemblages over time, he proposes arelational realist understanding of archaeological evidence based on a reading of relational and non-representational theorie
