In Defense Of Things by Bjørnar Olsen
Archaeology and the Ontology of Objects
This book delves into the often overlooked significance of material culture in understanding human history and society.

Through a series of thought-provoking arguments and examples, the text advocates for a more balanced perspective that acknowledges the role of things in the construction of cultural narratives and identities, urging readers to reconsider the relationship between people and the material world around them.
