Mobilizing the Archaeological Report for a Future of Reuse: Linked Open Data and the Scholar-Led Publication
The Archaeology of Contemporary America
The Archaeology of Contemporary America
This book is the first survey of contemporary archaeology, a field that focuses on the study of the past 50 years, in the United States. William Caraher demonstrates the plurality of theoretical and methodological approaches that make this discipline in the US unique, including the application of anthropological methods such as ethnography and oral history and the contributions of collaborative and community-based research. Opening with a case st…
Tradition and Identity: The Architecture of Greek Churches in Cyprus (14th to 16th Centuries)
The Case for Digital Site Reports
As ASOR looks ahead to another century of publishing booklength site reports and continues vigorously to support the thorough publication of archaeological sites, the authors, both editors of long-standing ASOR book series, recognize that a period of significant change is upon us. This change is more than simply making conventional paper books available in digital forms and extends to a fundamental rethinking of the publishing process, new ways o…
Survey and the 7th century in the Western Argolid
The past two decades have witnessed a major change in how archaeologists understand the Late Roman and Early Medieval landscape of Greece. The rise of survey archaeology in the late-20th century fueled a growing awareness of the ‘busy countryside’ of Late Antiquity. This complemented work in urban areas across Greece and the Eastern Mediterranean more broadly by demonstrating that Late Roman cities and their countryside experienced continued pros…
The Kingdom of Chelmis: Architecture, Material Culture, and the Modern Landscape of the Western Argolid
Fieldwork at the settlement of Chelmis in the Western Argolid provides a case study in the archaeological documentation of the Modern landscape of Greece. Over the last 40 years, archaeologists have recognized that the study of Modern assemblages contributes to our understanding of the formation processes that produce surface artifact scatters. This article combines conventional approaches to studying the Modern Greek landscape with insights from…
Slow Archaeology, Punk Archaeology, and the ‘Archaeology of Care
This article considers the impact of both historical and digital transhuman practices in archaeology with an eye towards recent conversations concerning punk archaeology, slow archaeology, and an ‘archaeology of care’. Drawing on Ivan Illich, Jacques Ellul, and Gilles Deleuze, the article suggests that current trends in digital practices risk alienating archaeological labour and de-territorializing archaeological work
Lessons from the Bakken Oil Patch
This article summarizes the recent work of the North Dakota Man Camp Project to understand the largely undocumented migrants arriving in the Bakken Oil Patch for work. It argues that efforts to document short-term labor in the Bakken exposes particular challenges facing the archaeology of the modern world ranging from the ephemerality of short-term settlements to the hyper-abundance of modern objects. The use of photography, video, interviews, an…
The North Dakota Man Camp Project: The Archaeology of Home in the Bakken Oil Fields
Ontology, World Archaeology, and the Recent Past
A review article of several books on archaeology, ontology, and the recent past in the American Journal of Archaeology
From Blogs to Books: Blogging as Community, Practice, and Platform
This article expands a 2008 article prepared by William Caraher for Archaeology Online which celebrated the first generation of scholarly blogging in archaeology and classics. Caraher remains tremendously optimistic that the widespread accessibility of blogging platforms, the growth of social media, and new expectation for academic publication has created new communities of scholarly practice poised to revolutionize archaeological communication. …
The Ambivalent Landscape of Christian Corinth: The Archaeology of Place, Theology, and Politics in a Late Antique City
This chapter argues that the textual and archaeological evidence for imperial involvement in the Corinthia provides faint traces of what Jas Elsner has called "internal friction" in the manifestation of imperial and Corinthian authority in the region
The South Basilica at Arsinoe (Polis-tes-Chrysochou): Change and innovation in an Early Christian Basilica on Cyprus
La basilique Sud de Polis-tes-Chrysochou (ancienne Arsinoé), construite à la fin du vie siècle apr. J.-C., est une église chypriote typique de la fin de l’Antiquité. Nous discutons ici les modalités des transformations apportées à sa structure et la façon dont ses constructeurs ont résolu les problèmes que présentait ce site, en particulier en ce qui concernait l’eau et son drainage. Nous présentons ici pour la première fois la chronologie du bât…

Siteless Survey and Intensive Data Collection in an Artifact-rich Environment: Case Studies from the Eastern Corinthia, Greece
Archaeological survey in the eastern Mediterranean has become increasingly intensive over the last 20 years, producing greater and more diverse data for smaller units of space. While complex, siteless data sets have allowed more sophisticated reconstructions of natural and cultural regional histories, the employment of more intensive methods has refocused the scope of Mediterranean surveys from region to ‘micro-region’. Such increasingly myopic a…
Fortifications of Mount Oneion, Corinthia
Recent investigations on the Isthmus of Corinth by the Eastern Korinthia Archaeological Survey (EKAS) have revealed a series of relatively humble fortifications situated along the ridge of Mt. Oneion, which forms the south- ern boundary of the Isthmus. These Late Classical–Early Hellenistic walls, along with a nearby series of later Venetian fortifications, were designed to block access to the south through several low passes. Controlling the pas…
