An archaeology of architecture : photowriting the built environment / Dennis Tedlock ; foreword by Arthur Sze.

"This work combines photography of both commercial and vernacular architecture around the world in a series of short essays examining what structures can reveal about their pasts and the present. The author's contribution as photographer/ethnographer provides a unique anthropological perspective to the observation that all buildings reflect a story that leads from construction through occupation to abandonment"-- Provided by publisher.
