From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Christopher Y. Tilley is a British archaeologist and a leading proponent of post-processual archaeology.

Tilley's major works on theoretical archaeology were written with his colleague Michael Shanks, and include ReConstructing Archaeology and Social Theory and Archaeology (both 1987). Since the early 1990s he has written widely on the use of phenomenology in archaeology, especially in his A Phenomenology of Landscape (Oxford: Berg 1993) and his latest book The Materiality of Stone. Explorations in Landscape Phenomenology (Oxford: Berg 2004).

He is currently Professor of Anthropology at University College London.
