territory, both in theory and in the case studies.” —Dan Lawrence,
Antiquity

present environmental and climatic crisis”—Julian Thomas, Journal
of Royal Anthropological Institute
Selected for Choice's 2019 Outstanding Academic Titles List
"In this important book, Ian Hodder demonstrates why things matter,
not because they represent something, but because the entangled
interdependence of all things gives rise to the forward direction
of history."—John C. Barrett, Professor Emeritus, University of
Sheffield
"Ian Hodder offers a new evolutionary model that gives real
prominence to the human entanglement with things, in a brilliantly
lucid account of the long paths along which humans and things lead
each other."—Carl Knappett, Department of Art, University of
Toronto
“Running counter to studies giving human agency the big share in
our embeddedness with things, Hodder’s sparkling essay advances the
legacy of systems of things as entrapping human evolution.”—Pierre
Lemonnier, author of Mundane Objects. Materiality and Non-verbal
Communication
“Ian Hodder frames a new archaeological perspective on the grand
narrative of human evolution. Where Are We Heading? provides
the first compelling explanation of directionality in cultural
change.”—Dorian Fuller, University College London
