The Anarchy of Nazi Memorabilia
Value in Context
The complexity of the history of the Treblinka II Nazi German death camp (located in Poland) provides a unique opportunity to conduct a fine-grained examination of the concept of the value of material assemblages and how this can vary depending on temporal, historical, and societal context. Following its closure, the site transitioned from a razed camp to a crime scene to a potential treasure repository to a memorial and finally to an archaeologi…
Holocaust Archaeologies
Holocaust studies was initially the purview of historians, who, poring over millions of pages of German documentation, were the first to try to reach a broader understanding of how and why the Holocaust occurred. The Holocaust is far too complex an atrocity for one discipline to comprehend, however, and successive areas of study have entered the field: literature, psychology, sociology, Jewish studies, and geography, to name just a few. What tend…
War in Context
The Perpetrator-Bystander-Victim Constellation
The actions, reactions, and motivations of perpetrators, victims, and bystanders are the focus of Holocaust and genocide research. The greatest emphasis has always been on the perpetrators, however, and the examination of the role of bystanders—and even the definition of the term itself—has been relatively neglected. This article explores the complex interrelationships within and among these three groups, with the groups being viewed as covering …
Mining, colonialism and culture contact
Frobisher initially sought funding for the expedition from the merchant class of Britain since they had the most to gain from its discovery, but since they ‘never regard virtue without sure, certain, and present gains, he repaired to the Court (from whence, as from the fountain of our common wealth, all good causes have their chief increase and maintenance)’ (Best 1578/1:47). The Earl of Warwick primarily funded the initial expedition, which cons…
Archaeometry into archaeology
Early Metalworking
The study of prehistoric industries is examined from the perspective of heterarchy. The main metalworking traditions of Bronze Age and Iron Age Wessex In southern England are discussed. Bronzeworking during the earlier period seems to be organized in a hierarchical fashion. The concept of heterarchy illuminates the complex organization of ironworking in the Iron Age, however, an industry that was deliberately non-hierarchical

Blacksmithing Technology in Iron Age Wessex
The sophistication of Iron Age blacksmithing technology in Wessex was determined by the metallurgical examination of 503 iron artefacts using Optical Metallography, Electron Microprobe Analysis and Vickers Hardness Testing. Iron artefacts from the different regions and site types of Southern Britain were examined to determine both the capabilities of Iron Age blacksmiths to alter the properties of iron artefacts through cold‐working, carburizatio…
