The Domestication and Exploitation of Plants and Animals
The domestication of plants and animals was one of the greatest steps forward taken by mankind. Although it was first achieved long ago, we still need to know what led to it and how, and even when, it took place. Only when we have this understanding will we be able to appreciate fully the important social and economic consequences of this step. Even more important, an understanding of this achievement is basic to any insight into modern man's rel…

The Petrie Medal
The Petrie Medal (see the Introduction to this issue) has always been an award of the University of London, while William Matthew Flinders Petrie himself was Edwards Professor at University College London (UCL), itself a constituent college of the University of London. The University took advice regarding the award of the Medal from its own 'Board of Studies in Archaeology';1 from the inception of the Institute of Archaeology in 1934, the Board w…

Unprovenanced Material Culture and Freud's Collection of Antiquities
Over his long life Sigmund Freud collected at least 2500 antiquities, most of which are now on view to the public in the London Freud Museum. What has not previously been properly considered is to what degree Freud was archaeologically informed, and why he became involved in the 'excavation' of Duna-Pentele in modern Hungary. Much has been written (not least by psychoanalysts) on the possible symbolic significance both of his collecting and of wh…

Heritage’ and ‘Indigenous Peoples’ in the 21st century
The Sámi of today (the Lapps of yesteryear), currently divided from each other by the national boundaries of Finland, Norway, Russia and Sweden, have been, at least in part, ‘defined’ in the past by archaeology and its practices. In creating and modifying identities believedto be appropriate to the 21st century, the Sámi facemany problems similar to other ‘indigenous’ and minority groups in the world. These include struggles to repatriate human r…

The politics of the indigenous minority
The main aim of this paper (see Author's note) is to demonstrate that definitions of which groups of people constitute indigenous minorities are subject to change—changes which are often due not so much to our increasing scientific or academic knowledge about particular groups of people, but to political factors. A secondary aim is to document two cases which have so far found little or no mention in the literature, one drawn from Zimbabwe and th…

Enlivening a ‘dead’ past
Attitudes towards the evidence of the past have changed. Whatever the causes, one result is a free-floating past, unlocated in place or time. Attempts to re-anchor the past through reference to an intelligible present, whether by performance or commercial endeavour, deserve to be examined with some degree of skepticism
