As anthropology reckons with its past, present, and future, anthropologists increasingly seek to challenge inequities within the discipline and academia more broadly. Anthropology, regardless of subdiscipline, is a social endeavor. Yet research often remains an isolating (though not necessarily solitary) process, even within research teams and in coauthorship contexts. Here, we focus on peer-reviewed publication as the principal manifestation of …

Archaeology as Service
This article provides an introduction to the theme issue “Archaeology of Service.” We explore how performing service in archaeology articulates with the concepts and practices of community-based archaeology, collaborative archaeology, and the Archaeologies of the Heart projects and their larger purposes of approaching work through a lens of social and environmental justice. We introduce seven articles that describe working in communities around t…
An Intersectional Approach to Equity, Inequity, and Archaeology
The year 2020 was an awakening for some. For others, it reiterated the persistent social injustice in the United States. Compelled by these events, 30 diverse individuals came together from January to May 2021 for a semester-long seminar exploring inequity in archaeological practice. The seminar's discussions spotlighted the inequity and social injustices that are deeply embedded within the discipline. However, inequity in archaeology is often ig…

Hope in Dirt
A 2018 workshop on the White Mountain Apache Tribe lands in Arizona examined ways to enhance investigations into cultural property crime (CPC) through applications of rapidly evolving methods from archaeological science. CPC (also looting, graverobbing) refers to unauthorized damage, removal, or trafficking in materials possessing blends of communal, aesthetic, and scientific values. The Fort Apache workshop integrated four generally partitioned …
Mobility and the Organization of Prehispanic Southwest Communities
Subsistence Practices and the Occupational Histories of the Little Green Valley
The Transitional Zone of central Arizona is a mountainous region dissected by rivers that created barriers and drove movement between prehistoric Hohokam groups to the south and Ancestral Peoples groups to the northeast and northwest. Although never suitable for large-scale agricultural irrigation, this region provided small areas of arable land scattered across rugged terrain rich in wild foods and alboreal resources. Archaeological data recover…
Fostering Collaborative Synthetic Research in Archaeology
While our fascination with understanding the past is sufficient to warrant an increased focus on synthesis, solutions to important problems facing modern society require understandings based on data that only archaeology can provide. Yet, even as we use public monies to collect ever-greater amounts of data, modes of research that can stimulate emergent understandings of human behavior have lagged behind. Consequently, a substantial amount of arch…
Why Do Fewer Women Than Men Apply for Grants After Their Phds
In spring 2013, the Society for American Archaeology created the Task Force on Gender Disparities in Archaeological Grant Submissions because of an apparent disparity in the rates of senior (post-PhD) proposal submissions by men and women to archaeology programs at the National Science Foundation (NSF) and the Wenner-Gren Foundation for Anthropological Research. Although NSF success rates for men and women between 2009 and 2013 were roughly equal…
Ndee (Apache) Archaeology
Despite abundant historical interest in Apache subjugation and early reservation periods, Apache persists as a lacuna in Southwest archaeology. Vexing conceptual and practical challenges to site identification and analyses, coupled with a lack of research specifically focused on Apache histories, regions, and material cultures, have retarded the creation of archaeological knowledge comparable or even complementary to the richness and diversity of…
In Search of Lost Landscapes
The Western Apache homeland in eastern and central Arizona is filled with domestic and ritual places, as well as named and unnamed natural places. Despite Western Apache displacement to reservations over a century ago, connections to this pre-reservation homeland remain strong in descendant communities. This paper uses archaeological survey and excavation data, ecological information, historical documents, ethnographic reports, and the accounts o…
The Autumn of Foraging in the Little Green Valley
Desert Archaeology excavated two protohistoric Apache sites along Arizona State Road 260, in the Little Green Valley between Payson and Heber. Ethnohistorical sources were used to review known patterns of Western Apache subsistence and develop a model for recognizing the uses and seasons of use of archaeological sites. The paleobotanical assemblages from these sites are interpreted within the framework of the model. It is suggested that one site,…
Archaeology and Cultural Resource Management
Scouting for Apache Archaeology in the Sub-Mogollon Rim Region
The rugged landscape of central Arizona has been ethnographically and historically documented as a Western Apache homeland. Despite more than 400 years of occupation, our understanding of the period before A.D. 1850 remains poorly known, and the archaeological record has attracted little directed research. This is due, in part, to the problems identifying the material traces of an Apache past in this area. The results of two recent projects in th…
A Potter’s Assemblage From Tla Kii Pueblo, Arizona
Sealed below the floor of a remodeled pueblo room lies a remarkable potters assemblage that helps to explain the diversity of locally produced ceramics and their significance for understanding the craft economy of the late eleventh and early twelfth century Mogollon Rim region. This paper describes an assemblage from the 1940 and 1941 excavations at Tla Kii Pueblo and provides preliminary compositional information
Patterns in the Pathways
Recent archaeological research in the Southwest has led to a reassessment of migration in explaining social change. Ethnohistoric data from Southwestern Pueblos may provide better analogues for prehistoric migrations in the region than models derived from contemporary urban contexts. Documentary evidence and climatic data from the early Historic period inform on demographic, environmental, economic, and social "pushes" that motivate groups to mov…
