Edges of Teamwork in Archaeology:Network Approaches to Excavation Histories
Author(s): Allison Mickel
Year: 2016
Summary
Network science has begun to transform how we view systems of people and objects in the archaeological past, but also provides new insight into how archaeologists collaborate to create the archaeological record. Using two longterm excavations as case studies-- Catalhoyuk in Turkey and the Temple of the Winged Lions in Petra, Jordan-- I demonstrate how network approaches help to visualize and measure teamwork on these archaeological sites. I identify how a person's position in formal site hierarchy relates to their role in transmitting information between team members, map out transformations in team structure over time, and address the consequences of how foreign excavators interact with local laborers.
