      The book introduces a new materialist approach to archaeology, integrating site ontology from geography with an innovative analysis of archaeological materiality as traces. It emphasizes the concept of animacy hierarchy to reframe geological materials as dynamic entities, encouraging a deeper understanding of their active role in archaeological contexts. This perspective challenges traditional views and invites readers to reconsider the interactions between materials and their environments.
