International Protocol for the Study of Amorphous Charred Objects in Archaeology (Ipsaco 1.0)
Archaeobotanists around the world increasingly recognise that, alongside commonly studied materials such as seeds, fruits, wood charcoal, and chaff, archaeobotanical samples also contain fragments of carbonised organic (and sometimes inorganic) matter that vary in shape and often display an amorphous structure. These amorphous charred objects (ACO) are emerging as a novel proxy within the broader field of plant macroremain studies in Archaeology.…
Evaluating microstructural malting identification markers in charred archaeological cereal grains
Identifying ancient malting and brewing practices provides key insights into diet, technology, and social practices. This study evaluates the diagnostic reliability of microstructural malting markers in 50 charred cereal grains from six Danish archaeological sites spanning 1–1650 CE. Using scanning electron microscopy (SEM), two proposed methodologies for detecting malting were assessed: amylolytic modification of starch granules and thinning of …

Indigenous Currencies
Indigenous Currencies follows dynamic stories of currency as a meaning-making communication technology. Settler economies regard currency as their own invention, casting Indigenous systems of value, exchange, and data stewardship as incompatible with contemporary markets. In this book, Ashley Cordes refutes such claims and describes a long history of Indigenous innovation in currencies, including wampum, dentalium, beads, and, more recently, the …
Storying Indigenous cryptocurrency
Since 2008, cryptocurrencies, or digital peer-to-peer currencies/assets, have amassed interest and proven unique in their ability to circumvent traditional financial institutions (disintermediation). The system can supersede the nation-state, while also garnering the attention of nation-states and marginalized groups. Indigenous individuals and Nations are among those interested in cryptocurrency, experimenting with it to express resistance to ec…
Revisiting Stories and Voices of the Rogue River War (1853-1856)
The Rogue River War (RRW) between Indigenous peoples and settlers is historically overlooked and storied through settler-colonial lenses. This essay narrates participation in a digital restorying and archaeological investigation into the war in light of digital advancements in archaeology and communication. The author coins a reflexive approach referred to as a digital constellatory autoethnographic mode of Indigenous archaeology (DCAM) and detai…
Into the unknown [Amas Mu Vuordá]? Listening to Indigenous voices on the meanings of Disney’s Frozen 2 [Jikŋon 2]
In 2019, Disney released the animated film Frozen 2 and included depictions of Indigenous Sámi peoples, landscapes, and lifeways.

This resulted in almost unanimously positive media praise by…

Identification of prehistoric malting and partial grain germination from starch granules in charred barley grains
The Urgent Need for Anticolonial Media Literacy
In this article, we advocate for anticolonial media literacy as an important complement to critical race media literacy. Given the pervasive misrepresentation of Indigenous peoples in media, teachers must explicitly learn to challenge colonizing and dehumanizing representations of Indigenous life and help their students to do the same. By outlining several Native studies theories, we forward anticolonial media literacy to help teachers detect and…

Selling Subversion
When An African City, an online television series produced in Ghana, debuted in 2014, the show immediately garnered a following, both within Ghana and abroad. The success of An African City demonstrates not only the capacity for independent filmmakers to reach global markets in the digital age, but by subverting dominant narratives about Africa it also suggests that, under certain conditions, creating counter-hegemonic narratives can be economica…
Kaup 2014
The article is a report on field activities of 2014 at a renowned location of Kaup forest near Wiskiauten/Viskiautai, nowadays Kaliningrad oblast of Russia, and a sentimental journey through the research history in a region at the crossroads of ancient communication webs, and more recently – of diverse political agendas. Field activities focused on the so-called Barrow 1, the only known mound at Kaup dated to the Neolithic, otherwise dotted with …
