Head-Smashed-In Buffalo Jump
Head-Smashed-In Buffalo Jump UNESCO World Heritage Site (HSIBJ) is a buffalo jump site that was in use for at least 6,000 years, and perhaps longer as renewed excavations are showing. The durative power of the site suggests a level of cultural continuity that is relatively unparalleled through world history. Despite technological, environmental, and cultural changes over that time, the way that the jump was used remained relatively consistent. Th…
The Road Taken
Debt and Credit
In a non-monetary economy, one of the main mechanisms for the storage of wealth is debt. For people living on the margins of the major urban societies of the Bronze Age Near East, debt and credit offered means of participating in larger aspects of economic life yet simultaneously allowed elites to gain access to their bodies, their family members, and their property as means of wealth storage. This paper seeks to explore how debt and credit were …

Related to these concerns were interes…
The perils of ethnographic analogy. Parallel logics in ethnoarchaeology and Victorian Bible customs books
In recent years, ethnoarchaeology and the use of ethnographic analogy have come under increasing criticism. Analogy seems necessary because, as post-industrial academics, archaeologists worry that they do not possess the knowledge necessary to interpret archaeological materials directly and thus must consult with coeval 'premodern' peoples to develop interpretive baselines. In this paper, we draw attention to a form of scholarly enquiry - 19th-ce…
