Abstract
The study of ideology is an area of research that has long been acknowledged as part of archaeology in various capacities; however, there have been many different approaches to its study, corresponding to varying appreciations and definitions of the concept. The changing extent and ways in which archaeology has acknowledged ideology as an area for productive research are part of how archaeology itself has changed as a discipline. This is no simple or unidirectional process, of course, but is part of wider changes in the social sciences, in politics, and in society.
