Wilson U.S. Department of the Interior Washington D.C. About 4500 years ago, during the Late Archaic period, nine explorers reconnoitered several passages within a large cave in north central Tennessee. Although prehistoric cave explo- ration was not unusual in eastern North America, this particular trip is unique because 274 footprints of these ancient cavers are preserved in the damp floor sediment of a side pas- sage.

  • Gender and Archaeology
    Research TOC GENDER AND ARCHAEOLOGY Cheryl Claassen s I entered college in 1971, the Women’s movement was generating much activity on campus and in the field of Aanthropology, my major. As I read my archaeology books I began collecting ways to identify women in the archaeological record. The sexing of skeletons was one obvious way in which archaeologists were able to identify women. Vitamin C storage is higher in women’s vertebrae and this difference had been used in a European study to sex poorly preserved skeletons. The types of grave goods could also suggest the sex of those buried. Further, ethnography suggested that the size of the house pattern indicated if a community was matrilocal (the new couple lived with the fam- ily of the wife). And archaeologists argued that spatial clustering of design elements on women’s or men’s tools could differentiate matrilineal from patrilineal societies (inheritance was transmitted through either the mother or the father). My advisor in graduate school told me that comparing the chemistry of children’s teeth with those of adult women and men in a burial population could tell us which parent married in and which parent was resident in the region from birth.1 I presented all these possibilities for identifying women in the classes I taught as a graduate student in the late 1970s. During this time I contemplated the difference in learning atmospheres I encountered during my schooling. At the University of Arkansas during the early 1970s most of the graduate student assistantships went to women, the state archaeologist was a woman, several of the affiliated field archaeologists were women, the crews often had as many or more women than men, and many of the graduate stu- dents were women.

Central issues have included whether archaeology has been, or should be, history or social science; whether humankind, past or present, can be investigated by the same means used in the natural sciences; whether archaeological interpretations can be expanded beyond narrow cultural history in which chronological and spatial distributions of material items are emphasized; whether archaeological inference should be significantly broadened, and if so how this can be done without severely erodingUNESCO the empirical basis of archaeological – EOLSS knowledge; whether archaeology can be practiced in a socially responsible way, relevant to the general public in a world full of severe social and political problems; and whether unavoidably biased (by their individual characteristics of gender, economic status, class, educational background, etc.) contemporarySAMPLE archaeologists can ever knowCHAPTERS anything substantive and true about alien cultures now extinct.

Biographical Memoirs COPYRIGHT 2006 NATIONAL ACADEMY OF SCIENCES WASHINGTON, D.C. ROBERT JOHN BRAIDWOOD July 29, 1907– January 15, 2003 BY PATTY JO WATSON OBERT J. BRAIDWOOD, ELECTED to the National Academy of R Sciences in 1964, WAS a central figure within the com- munity of field archaeologists that elicited culture history from the earth at the middle of the twentieth century. The heroic age of world archaeology, which began prior to World War II, was dominated by legendary excavators, such as Howard Carter, Gertrude Caton-Thompson, Grahame Clark, J. Desmond Clark, Dorothy Garrod, Emil Haury, Jesse Jennings, Kathleen Kenyon, A. V. Kidder, Richard (“Scotty”) MacNeish, Mortimer Wheeler, and Leonard Woolley. At the time of his death in January 2003, Bob Braidwood was the last survivor of this illustrious group. Robert John Braidwood was born on July 29, 1907, in Detroit, Michigan, a second-generation descendant of Scot- tish immigrants, both his mother’s and his father’s parents having come to the United States during the nineteenth century. As a boy, Bob Braidwood worked in his father’s pharmacy after school and held occasional part-time jobs at a grocery store and a bank. During the summer before he left home to attend the University of Michigan as a fresh- man undergraduate, he held an apprentice card in a car- penters’ union.
