The Cambridge Manual of Material Culture Studies

The Cambridge Manual of Material Culture Studies is a guide that explores how physical objects—like tools, clothing, art, and technology—reflect and influence human culture and history. It examines how material things shape identities, social relationships, and cultural practices, offering insights into societies through the study of their artifacts. The manual provides methods for analyzing these objects critically, helping researchers understand the deeper meanings and connections behind what people create and use. It’s a valuable resource for historians, anthropologists, and anyone interested in how material things reveal human experience.
