In this paper we theorize trust as emerging in different material/infrastructural and epistemic realities as part of our multidisciplinary collaboration about water, called Neighborhood Environments as Socio-Techno-Bio Systems: Water Quality, Public Trust, and Health in Mexico City (NESTSMX)”. This collaboration, led by feminist anthropologists, brings together anthropology, environmental-public health, and environmental engineering researchers t…

Indigenous Archaeological Field Technicians at Tiwanaku, Bolivia

Here I outline the relationship between archaeologists and indigenous workers at Tiwanaku, Bolivia, …
Excavation methodologies and labour as epistemic concerns in the practice of archaeology. Comparing examples from British and Andean archaeology
Archaeologists' excavation practices vary significantly from country to country and site to site. But variation in the most fundamental, 'common-sense' excavation practices is 'black-boxed' - it is not discussed outside casual, informal contexts, and is treated as having no effect on higher-level interpretation. These practices can, however, be a source of conflict when archaeologists from different communities of practice work together. In this …

Positioning archaeologists as professionals within a wider society, this article explores the relationship between the physicality of the body, the (de)construction of pers…
