Artifacts and Personal Identity: Reflecting on MCB

Summary

This is an abstract from the session entitled "“Historical Archaeology with Canon on the Side, Please”: In Honor of Mary C. Beaudry (1950-2020)" , at the 2022 annual meeting of the Society for Historical Archaeology.

In 2008 I co-authored an article with Mary Beaudry entitled “Artifacts and Personal Identity” published in the International Handbook of Historical Archaeology. Mary was my teacher, mentor, and colleague, and each of these roles is contained within the work. Our collaboration was a run within a narrows—a place in which our perspectives thoroughly overlapped and intermingled through a set of geographic and temporal particularities. In this paper I reflect on the currents that brought us toward that article and propelled us afterward into wider parts of the same sea.
