I would like to thank Gary Lock and Chris Gosden for their sustained support and encouragement throughout this project. I owe a particular debt of gratitude to Gary Lock for his early encouragement and subsequent support over the years. I would like to thank Clive Gamble, Lambros Malafouris, Rick Schulting and Nick Barton for their encouragement and advice on earlier versions of this work. The argument presented here has improved considerably thanks to their guidance. I am in their debt. Naturally, any errors or omissions in what follows are entirely my own fault.

Some of the material in this work has appeared in different forms elsewhere already. I would like to thank James K. Davies of the Davies Group Publishers for kindly allowing me to rework part of my chapter on Heidegger from my Phenomenology Between Aesthetics and Idealism , (Noesis Press (2015)) for inclusion here. I would also like to thank Rob Boddice, Nils Mueller-Scheessel, Tziovanis Georgakis, Paul Ennis, Amanda Boetzkes, Aron Vinegar, Roberta De Monticelli and Francesca De Vecchi, the editors of the following collections, for all of their hard work on my behalf and I am grateful to the publishers for permission to reproduce some of this material, in however altered a form, here:

I am indebted to my family for their kindness and support during the writing of this book: my wife Lynsey, mother Jane, father William and uncle Philip. Lynsey has been a constant source of encouragement and support and I am indebted to her for that! It would not have been possible to complete this work if it were not for her. Our children, Lily and Reuben, arrived during the writing of this book and I am in awe of how Lynsey has coped with all the challenges that being a mother of two young children entails. Lily and Reuben are a great source of inspiration and fun. They have been a very welcome distraction during this and other projects. My father William, Uncle Philip, and Lynseys parents, Robert and Christine Gillespie, have been a great support and they have been excellent baby-sitters! I am grateful to them for their help. Sadly, my mother Jane did not live to see the completion of this work. I miss her deeply and I know that she would have been proud to have seen this go to press. My father William has been a stalwart: ever helpful and supportive. I would not have been able to complete this without his help. Lastly, a word about my uncle Philip: it is to Philip that I am most in debt with regards to this project. He was an early source of inspiration for me regarding both archaeology and philosophy and his spirit of intellectual curiosity and rigour informs every page of what follows. It is to him that this work is dedicated.
