It’s a material world
Contemporary ethnoarchaeology has come a long way from material correlates and 'fleshing out the past'. This paper re-introduces ethnoarchaeology and opens a debate on its role in archaeology today. We summarize the role ethnoarchaeology has in developing, testing and building archaeological interpretation, and argue for its continuing importance in the wider discipline. This critical role further produces rich ethnographic and material informati…
Contesting Ethnoarchaeologies
Mineralogical and Geochemical Constraints on the Sediment Sources of Late Stone Age Pottery from the Birimi Site, Northern Ghana
The mineralogy and bulk chemical compositions of 15 Kintampo (Late Stone Age) potsherds from the Birimi site on the Gambaga Escarpment and eight samples of local sediment were determined with the intent of characterizing these wares and identifying the material used in their manufacture. Sediment from clay pits still used by potters north of the escarpment contains iron‐rich laterite clasts (100 × XFeO t = 100 × FeO t /[FeO t + Al 2 O 3 + SiO 2 ]…
Fearless Archaeologist
Susan Kent was a remarkable archaeologist who died in 2003 at the age of 50. That she died in her hotel room in Milwaukee while attending the Society for American Archaeology (SAA) meetings rather adds to her mystique leading Kehoe (2006) to refer to her as an ‘anomalous archaeologist.’ In the decade since her death, the American Anthropological Association published a special volume on Sue Kent and her work in their Archaeological Papers series …
Social Expectations and Children's Play Places in Northern Ghana
This paper looks at the ways in which children negotiate the expectations placed upon them in the course of socialization through the structure of their play places. Specifically we look at places where children have accumulated found objects in order to engage in games of preparing food. The locations of these places and the materials found in them reflect children's active engagement with the wider social system and the ways in which they chall…
