ARCHAEOLOGICAL METHOD & THEORY Far from Equilibrium: An Archaeology of Energy, Life and Humanity A Response to the Archaeology of John C. Barrett Edited by Michael J. Boyd and Roger C.P. Doonan A critical examination and exploration of developments in archaeology inspired by John Barrett. Twenty-four writers representing three generations of archaeologists scrutinise the current turmoil in the discipline and highlight the resolutions that may be found through Barrett’s analytical framework. Topics include archaeology and the senses, the continuing problem of the archaeological record, practice, discourse, and agency, reorienting archaeological field practice, the question of different expressions of human diversity, and material ecologies.

Contributions investigate different aspects of pilgrimage: concepts of place, community, social tensions and expectations of pilgrim behaviour; long- term meanings of place as embodied in memory and topography; mobility, migration and place-making; connectivity and its relationship to pilgrimage. Chapters discuss shrines, sanctuaries and sacred places as well as journeys and mobility across Greek, Roman and late antique contexts, framed as part of a key debate within the study of pilgrimage, the central tension between place and motion.

The terracotta figurines from Akragas (Agrigento) with their chubby faces, splendid furniture, and rich adornments, depict a prosperous life in the late sixth and early fifth century BCE. Designing and dedicating these votive figurines, and possibly also jewellery, to a cult statue might have acted as a unifying element for the perhaps multi-ethnic society of Akragas. Their cultural influences formed a new religious setting, helping to forge a new identity unique to Sicily.

Evidence from the Paleolithic shows that intergroup conflict was minimal, and population density was very low. Our hunter-gatherer ancestors probably had high rates of homicide, but a moral sense is hard-wired in us all, despite the influence by environmental factors. The author argues that recognising our commonality is the key to the pursuit of kindness.

Over the past decade network theory and methodologies have become central to exploring and explaining social, economic and political relationships and connections in past societies. The papers in this volume aim to interrogate the interpretative potential of network concepts for understanding the movement over time and space of ideas about how to make things through a range of archaeological case studies which reveal both functional and dysfunctional relationships.

Studies that deal with material categories in isolation fail to reflect the integrated nature of technical systems. Exploring the interaction between different chaînes opératoires is crucial for a more global concept of the toolkit; it is a precondition for paleo-ethnographic reconstructions of technical systems and economies. Presented at the AWRANA conference in 2018, these papers bring together leading scholars in this field to explore topics ranging from social status and economy to mobility patterns and territories in a functional perspective.

Gibson, Kerri Cleary and Catherine J. Frieman Explores new avenues of approach to the movement of people and ideas in the past. One route into exploring mobility in the past may be through exploring the movements and biographies of artefacts. In this book case studies explore the identification of patterns of movement, changing function and shifting meaning in the material culture of past people. It investigates the recognition and understanding of the significance of inter-site or off-site spaces within the occupied landscape, and examines evidence for movement on a variety of scales, both temporal and spatial.

This book brings scholars from diverse fields together to demonstrate how a network approach can successfully incorporate different theoretical perspectives and methodological applications. The authors draw on multiple strands of social and geographical theory and use data as diverse as archaeological artefacts, roads/infrastructure, textual sources, and information from living informants. It will appeal to those interested in enriching their understanding of the interdisciplinary underpinnings of widely employed concepts in network science, and offers a collection of theoretically and methodologically grounded case studies.

    Drew Hayden Taylor, Native Canadian Playwright in His Times

    BRIDGING THE GAP: DREW HAYDEN TAYLOR, NATIVE CANADIAN PLAYWRIGHT IN HIS TIMES Dale J. Young A Dissertation Submitted to the Graduate College of Bowling Green State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY December 2005 Committee: Dr. Ronald E. Shields, Advisor Dr. Lynda Dixon Graduate Faculty Representative Dr. Jonathan Chambers Bradford Clark © 2005 Dale Joseph Young All Rights Reserved iii ABSTRACT Dr. Ronald E. Shields, Advisor In his relatively short career, Drew Hayden Taylor has amassed a significant level of popular and critical success, becoming the most widely produced Native playwright in the world. Despite nearly twenty years of successful works for the theatre, little extended academic discussion has emerged to contextualize Taylor’s work and career. This dissertation addresses this gap by focusing on Drew Hayden Taylor as a writer whose theatrical work strives to bridge the distance between Natives and Non-Natives. Taylor does so in part by humorously demystifying the perceptions of Native people. Taylor’s approaches to humor and demystification reflect his own approaches to cultural identity and his expressions of that identity. Initially this dissertation will focus briefly upon historical elements which served to silence Native peoples while initiating and enforcing the gap of misunderstanding between Natives and non-Natives. Following this discussion, this dissertation examines significant moments which have shaped the re-emergence of the Native voice and encouraged the formation of the Contemporary Native Theatre in Canada. Finally, this dissertation will analyze Taylor’s methodology of humorous demystification of Native peoples and stories on the stage.

    GIZA PLATEAU MAPPING PROJECT GIZA PLATEAU MAPPING PROJECT Mark Lehner Ancient Egypt Research Associates (AERA) Season 2017: The Old and the New This year AERA team members busied themselves with the old and very new in research. I had the opportunity to return to some of my earliest work at the Sphinx, thanks to a grant from the American Research Center in Egypt (ARCE) Antiquities Endowment Fund (AEF) for the Sphinx Digital Database. This project will digitize, conserve, and make available as open source the archive from the 1979–1983 ARCE Sphinx Project, for which Dr. James Allen was project director and I was field director. My work at the Sphinx started three years earlier, in 1977, with Dr. Zahi Hawass, so that makes it exactly forty years ago.1 Search for Khufu We launched a new initiative, directed by Mohsen Kamel and Ali Witsell, to explore the older layers of the Heit el-Ghurab (“Wall of the Crow,” HeG) site. In some areas we have seen an older, different layout below what we have so far mapped, which dates to Khafre and Men- kaure. We believe that the older phase settlement and infrastructure, which was razed and rebuilt, served Khufu’s building of the Great Pyramid. The discovery in 2013, and publication this year, of the Journal of Merer2 piques our interest all the more in the early phase of Heit el-Ghurab. Pierre Tallet and a team from the Sorbonne and the French Institute in Cairo discovered the inscribed papyri at Wadi el-Jarf on the west- ern Red Sea Coast, in a port facility used only in the time of Khufu.

Eberwein The University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee, 2019 Under the Supervision of Professor Bettina Arnold Museum collections excavated from archaeological sites represent an intersection of disciplines and provoke innovative approaches to the study of these material aspects of culture. Botanical collections of food remains in particular, provide an opportunity to interrogate the way in which culinary practices in the past are understood. The circum-Alpine lake dwelling complex of central Europe includes hundreds of archaeological sites dating to the Neolithic, Bronze, and Iron Age; many of these sites are known for exceptional preservation of organic material due to a waterlogged, anaerobic environment.
