Learning Archaeology is designed for undergraduate archaeology students, helping them develop interpretive skills in the classroom through problem-oriented, active learning exercises.This book brings together case studies drawn from real archaeological research so students can understand (and wrestle with) how archaeology is practiced, the kinds of questions that can be addressed with archaeological data (and its limits), and the often contested place of the discipline in the modern world. Experts working across the globe and on a variety of topics have written chapters addressing critical archaeological issues or questions using data and examples from their own research projects. Several chapters are co-authored by experienced practitioners working outside of the academy in archaeology and heritage-related fields, including Tribal or First Nations members. Importantly, each author or group of authors situates their archaeological problem within the social and political context of their practice. With ethical and socio-political considerations woven through each chapter, the book is structured into three sections, Excavation, Analytical Methods, and Archaeology in the Contemporary World and provides both a comprehensive view of archaeological method as well as an understanding the role that archaeological knowledge has in contemporary society.Learning Archaeology is for undergraduate archaeology students and suitable for use in introductory courses in archaeology.

Dynamics of Deep Time and Deep Place comprises one volume in an unprecedented three-volume set, collectively subtitled Decolonial Reconstellations. Together with Volume Two (Dissolving Master Narratives) and Volume Three (Reconceiving Identities in Political Economy), it gathers thinkers from across world regions and disciplines who reconfigure critical global thought. Collaboratively conceived, the volumes are founded on the observation that we cannot fully uproot the epistemological-material violence of coercive systems, nor fully (re)imagine more ethical visions of planetary community, without shared attention to the deeper histories of place and peoples that shape the present. Accordingly, the volumes gather social scientists and humanists, Indigenous and non-Indigenous scholars, and intersectional and materialist thinkers who reconceptualize longue-duree history and its afterlives. They engage in the dual project to dismantle eurocentric, colonial, androcentric frameworks and to make visible the legacies of care and creative world-making that have sustained human communities. Uncovering pasts that are as complex and dynamic as the present, the contributors brilliantly transform notions of temporality, polity, conjuncture, resistance, and experimentation within histories of struggle and alliance. They richly decolonize political imaginaries. The co-editors' introductions articulate fresh frameworks of "deep place" and "deep time" freed from eurocentric modernity paradigms, indicating pathways toward decolonial collaboration and institutional change.Decolonial Reconstellations offers invaluable resources for researchers and teachers in decolonial, postcolonial, anti-colonial, and Indigenous studies, and will also strongly appeal to feminist, anti-racist, Marxist, and critical theory scholars across disciplines.

This volume brings together perspectives from different parts of the world that showcase the wide variety of practices, institutions, and ideologies that allowed for shared identities and coordinated actions across broad collectives. It shows that there are many ways that people can work together.How did the world's first large-scale collectives come into being? For much of our discipline's history, the answer was the state. People learned how to be part of a larger community via political, economic, and social scaffolding that tended to build from earlier ways of living in a region. This scaffolding was often wobbly and always under construction-its flexibility often a design strength rather than a flaw. This book demonstrate that violence and rulers often played pivotal roles in large-scale collectives, but so did gender complementarity, markets, ritual centers, fictive kinship, and egalitarianism. Earlier evolutionary approaches tended to obscure both the variability and malleability of earlier political forms in a desire to find ideal types hidden beneath cross-cultural noise. This volume's authors argue that this noise was politics-in-action and that there was no state, or other kind of polity, that was above the fray and divorced from the daily practices that brought people, animals, and other things together.A better understanding of early collective action strategies provides a richer understanding of past politics, and, just as importantly, demonstrates governance alternatives for our contemporary society that struggles to address climate change, pandemics, and other pressing challenges. This book will interest archaeologists and historians, as well as anyone who is curious about other ways that we can work together to solve common problems.

This book examines how the Covid-19 pandemic can be described as a biopolitical crisis, taking into account a fact often overlooked by commentators: Covid-19 is a zoonosis, a disease transmissible between animal species. The Sars-Cov2 virus causing this respiratory disease circulated in bats before passing to humans under as-yet mysterious conditions, and it was transmitted from humans to other species, notably mink and deer. Building on Michel Foucault's revival of the term "biopolitics" and related notions (disciplinary power, pastoral power, cynegetic power), this book traces a set of public health measures taken over the last two centuries to control epidemics. It underlines how the need to conserve virus strains in order to identify and anticipate their mutations has given rise to cryopolitics, a set of techniques aimed at suspending the living in order to defer death. The book then questions the emancipatory scope of this cryopolitics by examining interspecies solidarity built by the warning signals sent by animals to humans about coming threats, be they pandemics, natural disasters, or climate change. By blurring the boundaries between the wild and the domestic resulting from the process of domestication, the politics of zoonoses relies on sentinels who preserve the memory of signs from the past to prepare living beings for future threats by involving them in a common ideal.

Historical Archaeology in a Nutshell is a textbook for students studying historical archaeology for the first time.The book presents historical archaeology's contribution to understanding the world in a series of bite-sized, topic-specific, and intellectually contextualized chapters that do not presuppose much prior knowledge of archaeology. Each chapter covers a theme commonly explored by historical archaeologists such as identity, race and racialization, colonization and Indigenous peoples, diasporas and transnationalism, religion, and war. Chapters can be read in any order in about 30 minutes and show why and how archaeologists explore the topic. Each starts with something about ontology (why would anyone care about this topic?), explains the range of approaches archaeologists apply to it, presents a relevant case study that synthesizes method and theory, and concludes with some thought-provoking discussion questions. Using examples from around the world, the book supports historical archaeology as a global discipline.As supplementary reading in an introductory archaeology course or as one of the main texts in a course dedicated to historical archaeology, this book will provide students with a focused and easily comprehensible introduction to the subject.

Exploring Digital Ethnography: From Principles to Practice places digital ethnography within the context of the production of multimedia, multisensory "research-creation" pieces using a variety of methods, tools, and techniques.This book provides new insights into how digital tools and concepts can facilitate the deliberation process, while they can also be used to materialize knowledge in new ways that engage with audiences in more dynamic formats. Drawing on a series of case studies on digital and interactive storytelling, digital photography and video, fictional worldbuilding, autoethnographic cartooning and more, it demonstrates the potential of digital tools and concepts to reach new audiences and to illustrate new approaches to solving problems. The case studies presented draw, in part, on multiple elements of participatory digital archive and museum work, itself part of the larger field of participatory visual and digital methods.Exploring Digital Ethnography: From Principles to Practice will equip readers with new ways of producing knowledge, solving problems, engaging student learning, and communicating with the public. It will be a valuable text for researchers, educators, and students in digital ethnography and anthropology, as well as related fields.

Jallo, Zainabu, Diasporic Consciousness in the Material Culture of Brazilian Candomble. (Routledge Studies in Anthropology) 208 pp. 2025:6 (Routledge, UK) <742-80>
ISBN 978-1-032-48330-6 hard ¥40,832.- (税込) GB￡ 145.00

This book examines Candomble's material culture and its relationship with the evolving cultural politics of Brazil. It employs artefacts as analytical tools to trace the emergence of a diasporic consciousness. By tracing the movements of artefacts historically, the study reveals how Candomble has transitioned from a secluded sacred tradition marked by discrimination and persecution to inclusion in the construction of a new cultural character in Brazil.While maintaining its esoteric traditions and contending with ongoing discrimination, the Candomble sphere has evolved into a confluence of socio-religious and political features expressed in sacred and spectacular contexts. This research highlights the crucial role of artefacts in the various stages of Candomble's transformation. It demonstrates how diasporic communities progressively exercise political and cultural significance within new societal contexts. The book will be of interest to a broad audience, including scholars from anthropology, material culture studies, art history, history, and religious studies.

Seeking Transcendence examines the various paths taken by those who have detached themselves from their traditional, institutional religious roots but are seeking non-traditional paths to spiritual experiences. Called the "nones" or non-affiliated in poplar mass media these include a significant number of Western folks who maintain a belief in God or at least consider themselves "spiritual but not religious."Each chapter of the book explores these trends with a specific theme, as well as a case study based upon the author's ethnographic observation of alternative spiritual communities and practices in North America and Western Europe.Ultimately, this book shows how contemporary alternatives to traditional, institutional religion appeal to nones, presenting the relevance of new religious movements and more secular spiritual paths to transcendence.

An intimate meditation on aging and dying in exile among elderly Tibetans in Dharamsala, India In a Tibetan saying, the journey of life is likened to a climb up to a mountain pass. Upon reaching it, the journey concludes and one must cross over into death and the next rebirth. The impermanence of life-described by the Buddha as the nature of reality-crystallizes at the mountain pass, manifesting itself through the painful and arduous descent ahead and a series of sufferings. In this book, Harmandeep Kaur Gill offers an intimate meditation on the last part of the journey at the mountain pass through closely drawn portraits of elderly, exiled Tibetans who aged in Dharamsala, India, far away from their beloved homeland of Tibet, and often alone, in the absence of family. In Gill's work, the mountain pass represents a "borderland," an in-between world, where the elderly found themselves living at the crossroad between life and death, belonging fully to neither of them. It was a time-space where everyday life traversed between past and present, in darkness and light, and in dream and reality, as the elderly attempted to come to terms with the realities of their old age. By placing relational entanglements and sensations at the heart of its theorization, Waiting at the Mountain Pass foregrounds an embodied knowing that is care-ful, hesitant, and unresolved in its claims. Aiming to bridge the gap between ethics and epistemology, Gill invites the reader to see and listen in a relational and imaginative way where the other reflects back upon the self, making the assumed separations between subject and object blurry and unsettling. Through meditations on the interrelations of body and mind, society and individual, and the real and the imagined, Waiting at the Mountain Pass provides a sensorial and compassionate understanding of the singularities of life and death in a Tibetan Buddhist world in exile.

This book is an extrapolation of the research Kelly conducted for the doctoral thesis about his people's struggle to come to terms with native title claim processes, in which we are required to prove our connection to land, culture and kin.This book offers a compelling and profound journey of Nanda people's existence over time. It gives a robust understanding of the kinship and culture of my family group. It differs from others in the same field as it has been produced from an insider's perspective; it is about my family, who are of the Murchison region of Western Australia. The book presents the ways in which my family continues to hold strong connection to kin and Country through traditional practices that have survived and flourished, regardless of colonialism. This has been achieved through the privileging of my family's lived experiences and perceptions as told by Elders. In addition, Kelly focuses on the small details of our everyday lives to capture aspects of Country and kin. Further, his insider positioning is incorporated in a critically reflexive way, based on auto-ethnographic accounts. Each chapter of the book focuses on particular ideas that were developed over the course of the study. The research provides examples of the historical and contemporary struggle of this Nanda family group's survival and recognition as traditional owners in a native title claim. Particular themes were recurrent features in many of my conversations with Elders. The theme of identity, pertaining to how members of this family group identify with each other and with others, was consistent throughout the process and is based on the love and respect between family members.Readers interested in Australian history, cultural studies and Indigenous studies will appreciate this book.

This book provides a shortform definitive reference text on the landscape and features of Aotearoa New Zealand that underpin its familiar, though country-specific, ways of caring for the dead. It provides an account of diverse funerary practices that have taken shape through the various cultures that have settled here.In the backdrop of the colonising history of Aotearoa New Zealand, the book examines the complex legislative framework that separates Maori and non-Maori funerary legislation and practices. Examining the mixed model of provision spanning municipal, commercial, and private organisations, the book outlines various aspects of funerals, such as the care of the body, funeral arrangements, costs, and what state support is available. It also delves into the two legal ways to manage the dead: burial or cremation, with cremation now the majority option. The book explores the numbers, ownership and locations of crematoria and cemeteries before identifying the new trends influencing death care including sustainability. It then looks at how death is memorialised in Aotearoa New Zealand, including in cemeteries, for war memorialisation, and other public commemoration and memorialisation.This book will be of interest to the growing body of local authority planners, researchers, and funeral professionals who must be responsive to and provide their services in complex multi-cultural contexts. As the scope of the book is historical and contemporary death practices, it will also appeal to social historians.

Critical Issues in Caribbean Museums examines the challenges faced within the field of Caribbean Museology. Museums are sites of heritage management and, within Caribbean contexts, essential spaces for examination of post-colonial relationships to past disenfranchisement.This book helps to identify strategies within museology that can inspire meaningful collective engagement with these histories. In the process, it also identifies the hurdles museums in the Caribbean face when telling stories of ancestral oppression. Each chapter presents a new case study, written by five different museum professionals and scholars fundamentally shaping conversations on cultural heritage spaces within the Caribbean and the diaspora of Caribbean nations. Using their observations the book coalesces an understanding of the specific limitations Caribbean cultural heritage spaces face and deploys new strategies for maximizing their engagement potential. The book contains six thematic chapters, with chapter written by Caribbean museology experts and scholars.Critical Issues in Caribbean Museums is for Museum Studies researchers and museum practitioners, especially those actively engaged in the process of preserving Caribbean cultural heritage, advancing museum development in the Caribbean or in other developing nations for future generations.

ISBN 978-1-032-55963-6 hard ¥40,832.- (税込) GB￡ 145.00

The first of its kind, this book traces the construction of postmemory in post-communist Romania.Focusing on the processes, gaps, agents, and contradictions of postmemory, it examines a range of topics across a variety of disciplines, addressing questions of museums and musealization, law and memory, political trials and retrospective justice, and postmemory in a digital context, while also considering marginalized and forgotten voices, such as those of Roma populations and abandoned children. Moving away from a focus on the institutional mechanisms of transitional justice or officially sanctioned historical narratives, Between the Memory and Post-Memory of Communism in Romania brings together some of the leading voices in the field of memory studies in Romania to adopt a more pluralistic and diverse approach to the communist past.It will therefore appeal to scholars of sociology, anthropology, museum studies and history with interests in the communist period in Eastern Europe.

This book unites the burgeoning scholarly literature on not-believing in various disciplines into a proposed new field of apisteology. It demonstrates that not-believing-like not-knowing-is a worthy and distinct subject and not merely a vacuum where belief (like knowledge) is lacking. Several contemporary issues appear repeatedly in the book, such as conspiracy theories, vaccine skepticism, climate change denial, and fake news. Each chapter begins with a vignette on one of these topics and ends with a section looking ahead to which certain disciplinary approaches to not-believing can tell us. Not only does this format allow us to consider how not-believing is pervasive and distinct, but also allows us to consider what apisteology as a distinct field of study brings to the table. Ultimately, the book's consistent appeals to the constructed quality of not-believing, to the trust and commitment dimensions of not-believing, and ultimately to the critique of "truth" as the central or only interest in "belief" make it key reading for scholars and students across the social sciences and humanities.
