North American Provincialism and Outdated Archaeological Curricula: The Bane of Global Archaeology (2023)

DOCUMENT Citation Only Peter Schmidt.

This is an abstract from the "Essential Contributions from African to Global Archaeology" session, at the 88th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. I was trained at Northwestern University by Stuart Struever, a student of L. Binford. I was nurtured on a positivist paradigm and force-fed like a goose on the 1960s New Archaeology. I was gratefully cured of these limitations by elders in East Africa who taught me deep respect for historical perspectives on the past. Because I...

Note On Relative Deprivation Theory As Applied To Millenarian and Other Cult Movements. In: Reader in Comparative Religion (1965)

DOCUMENT Citation Only David F. Aberle.

A Novel Approach to the Identification of Dog Breeds in Highland Chiapas, Mexico (2023)

DOCUMENT Citation Only Miranda George. Elizabeth Paris. Roberto López Bravo.

This is an abstract from the "Recent Advances in Zooarchaeological Methods" session, at the 88th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. The utilization of dental morphology for the identification of different dog breeds in archaeological contexts has recently emerged as a promising new avenue for zooarchaeological methodologies, particularly in cases differentiating between coated and hairless breeds. Recent zooarchaeological studies from the Early Postclassic period (ca. AD...

Nutritional Inferences from Paleopathology. In: Advances in Archeological Method and Theory - Volume V (1982)

DOCUMENT Citation Only R. Huss-Ashmore. A. H. Goodman. G. J. Armelagos.

DOCUMENT Citation Only Noel D Broadbent. Kjel Knutsson.

DOCUMENT Citation Only Lewis R. Binford.

Old Methods and Theories in the Ethnographic Present: Why We Need An Archaeological Sensibility in the 21st Century (2019)

DOCUMENT Citation Only Jason De Leon.

This is an abstract from the "Archaeology Out-of-the-Box: Investigating the Edge of the Discipline" session, at the 84th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. Archaeologists often look to sociocultural anthropology for either ethnographic data that support interpretations of the ancient past or for the latest "cutting edge" theory that can be directly grafted onto a data set. In essence, archaeologists excel at mining the ethnographic literature for analogies or new social...

On a Demographer's View of Prehistoric Demography (1975)

DOCUMENT Citation Only George J. Armelagos.

On Causes and Consequences of Ancient and Modern Population Changes (1975)

DOCUMENT Citation Only George L. Cowgill.

On Effective Theories of Macroarchaeology (2024)

DOCUMENT Citation Only Marcus Hamilton.

This is an abstract from the "Big Ideas to Match Our Future: Big Data and Macroarchaeology" session, at the 89th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. Archaeology reconstructs human behavior in the past from a biased, sparse, and fragmentary record, at multiple scales of space and time, from site-specific local events, to regional, continental, and global patterns. However, in practice, it is not always clear at which scale we are asking archaeological questions, and how...

On Population Structure in Generalized Hunting and Collecting Populations (1958)

DOCUMENT Citation Only Joseph B. Birdsell.

On Sample Size Problems and the Uses of Nonprobabilistic Sampling (1978)

DOCUMENT Citation Only David L. Asch.

On the need for more "gut theory" in academic archaeology (2015)

DOCUMENT Citation Only Larry Zimmerman.

If we want archaeology to matter we need to get back to some basics. Processual archaeology got archaeologists drunk on theory. Post-Processual archaeology offered what appeared to be a hangover cure, but was really just the "hair-of-the-dog." In its theory addiction, the discipline seems to be hooked on a "philosophy du jour," stimulating in the classroom, a dissertation, or a monograph, but which quickly gets stale and unsatisfying. Academic archaeologists in particular seem to lose sight of...

On the Origin of Cultures (2019)

DOCUMENT Citation Only Jonathan Marks.

This is an abstract from the "The Extended Evolutionary Synthesis and Human Origins: Archaeological Perspectives" session, at the 84th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. As an analytic category, a culture shares many of the same difficulties that a species has in biology: notably, fuzzy boundaries, temporal instability, and extensive substructuring, which render it difficult to define adequately and comprehensively. Nevertheless, the symbolic world or semiotic matrix that...

On the Relationship Between Size of Population and Complexity of Social Organization (1986)

DOCUMENT Citation Only Robert L. Carneiro.

On the Right of Refusal: Decolonizing Archaeology and Equitable Praxis (2018)

DOCUMENT Citation Only Uzma Rizvi.

Fore fronting that "decolonization is not a metaphor" (Tuck and Yang 2012), this paper demonstrates how decolonization is not just an historical process but rather an action that is political at its core. As global efforts to redefine archaeological practice are underway to ensure a more just and equitable practice, political historiographies of colonial archaeology in high income postcolonies, such as the United Arab Emirates (UAE), must also be investigated. Epistemic violence embedded...

On the Structure of Artifact Typologies. In: Essays On Archeological Typology (1982)

DOCUMENT Citation Only James A. Brown.

Ordinary or Extraordinary? Analytical Disjunctures between Production and Rituals in Pastoralist Societies (2018)

DOCUMENT Citation Only Hannah Chazin.

This paper considers the connection between the quotidian practices of pastoralism and the role of herd animals (and their material remains) in ritual practices in the Late Bronze Age in the South Caucasus. Zooarchaeological and isotopic analysis of faunal remains from Late Bronze Age (1500-1100 BCE) sites in the Tsaghkahovit Plain, Armenia have revealed new, if perplexing, evidence about everyday practices of production, distribution, and consumption of pastoralist products and the...

Organizational Roles for Lithic Tool Types from Cedar Mesa, Southeastern Utah, and Their Implications (1981)

DOCUMENT Citation Only Richard E. W. Adams. School of American Research (Santa Fe, N.M.).

"Our Past is Not the Other"—Anthropological Archaeology and Academic Peripheries in Central Europe (2018)

DOCUMENT Citation Only Matthew Murray.

As an archaeologist who practices and teaches holistic anthropology and has long been fascinated by the rich prehistory of Central Europe, I am shy about sharing my anthropological tendencies with German colleagues. When I do, I am often greeted with surprise, confusion, and a polite suggestion that I should be in Papua New Guinea or other places where German anthropologists engage with people who are perceived as different from contemporary Europeans. In Central Europe, archaeology is...
