2681. RECONFIGURING ANIMAL SKINS
- Archaeology places emphasis on the document, in opposition to the approach of clas-
sical historiography, which relentlessly looks for what the document may say; archae-
ology excavates deeper into the past from which the document emanates. Ibid., 6 and
17–18.
- Ibid., 41.
- Archaeology is essentially comparative. As demonstrated in The Order of Things, its full
analytical potential is employed when parallelisms between contemporary but seem-
ingly nonrelated disciplines are considered. Nonetheless, it is possible to extrapolate
specific archaeological tools for the analysis of epistemological strata.

- In England, the “stuffing” of chairs and benches began during the reign of Queen
Elizabeth I (1558–1603) and gradually gained professional momentum through the
eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, when a person involved in the production of
furniture padded with materials ranging from straw and sawdust to feathers was
referred to as a stuffer. S. Creegan, ed. 1984, Upholstery, the Inside Story (London:
