Anticipating
Abstract
This chapter uses differences in building techniques as a springboard for considering the ways in which people in positions of, respectively, privilege and precarity imagined the future. It resists the in-built tendency of archaeological typologies to place supposedly poor material culture outside of history and instead shows how the experience of people living precariously was marked by the chronic stress of anticipating a future that demanded reaction.
