Constructing the Herd: Critically Considering the Temporality of Human-Animal Relations in Archaeological Analysis (2023)
DOCUMENT Citation Only Theo Kassebaum.

This is an abstract from the "If Animals Could Speak: Negotiating Relational Dynamics between Humans and Animals" session, at the 88th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. The concept of the herd is often deployed when discussing systems of animal management in the ancient past, sometimes explicitly but most often implicitly. Due to the nature of the archaeological record, zooarchaeological assemblages often compress multiple generations of livestock into a single dataset....

Contemporary Archaeology in Indigenous Communities? (2018)
DOCUMENT Citation Only Matthew Magnani.

This presentation critically evaluates both the historic and present trajectories of the field of ethnoarchaeology and its outgrowths as practiced in indigenous communities today. This paper draws on long-term fieldwork conducted amongst two distinct communities who inhabit Arctic Europe and east Africa. I reflect upon the development and current state of ethnoarchaeology— often used as a tool to interpret archaeological remains of the deep past— and suggest new potential functions and...

Contextualizing Conflict: Social Theory in the Bioarchaeology of Central Anatolia (2021)
DOCUMENT Citation Only Cheryl Anderson.

This is an abstract from the "Fryxell Award Symposium: Papers in Honor of Debra L. Martin" session, at the 86th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. Throughout her career Debra Martin has utilized an innovative, multidisciplinary, and theoretical approach to bioarchaeology. One of her most significant contributions to archaeology has been her pioneering work on violence, utilizing social theory and current methodologies in order to interpret the skeletal evidence. Her...


Continuity and Change in Relationships between Architecture, Landscape, and Cosmology in the Jequetepeque Valley (2025)
DOCUMENT Citation Only Yumi Park Huntington.

This is an abstract from the "Emplacement and Relational Approaches to the Ancient Americas" session, at the 90th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. This paper offers new research and theories on relationships between architecture, landscape, and cosmology in the ancient Andes. Previous research has shown how the so-called Acropolis at Jatanca in the Jequetepeque Valley was built to form an almanac viewed along a nearby mountain, Cerro Cañoncillo, with sunrises at the...


Contributions of a Three-K’atun Archaeologist to Theorizing the Classic Maya Past (2019)
DOCUMENT Citation Only Patricia McAnany.

This is an abstract from the "Decipherment, Digs, and Discourse: Honoring Stephen Houston's Contributions to Maya Archaeology" session, at the 84th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. Theory—the workhorse of evidence—is a powerful engine that can revolutionize understanding or create a huge misstep. To theorize the past is to generalize principles and processes of human practice that surpass cultural boundaries. By participating in these larger networks of meaning,...


Creatures of Care: Assembling Livestock Worlds within Archaeofaunal Datasets (2025)
DOCUMENT Citation Only Theo Kassebaum.

This is an abstract from the "The Archaeology of Care and Power" session, at the 90th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. This paper builds on the work of Duclos and Criado to dive into the speculative potential of a framework of care by considering how archaeological worlds are constructed through multispecies relationships in diverse and multiple ways. Speculating about care requires acknowledging relationalities across categories. This has significant implications for...


Crossroads of Disciplines: Precipitating Causes and Latent Causal Conditions (2018)
DOCUMENT Citation Only Richard Flint.

Historians and archaeologists are habitually drawn to one or the other of two very different types of causal explanation. Those habits arise in great measure from the two distinctly different kinds of data that the two disciplines deal with. Archaeological causal explanations are frequently limited to "latent causal conditions," that is, environmental and cultural (thus anonymous and collective) vulnerabilities or proclivities, broad-scale physical and societal pushes and pulls that set the...

The Current State of Egyptology: An International Survey and Discussion (2018)
DOCUMENT Citation Only Carl Walsh. Justin Yoo. Paul van Pelt.

This paper suggests that Egyptology has reached a critical juncture in which the opening of the field to other areas, such as anthropology and sociology, is critical in revitalising and safeguarding the future of the discipline. Discourse beyond disciplinary boundaries is becoming increasingly important in academia, due to wider changes in university structures, employment, and funding opportunities. Given the current importance of these issues, the authors wanted to determine how these aspects...
