Digital Archaeology at the Edge: Sharing Heritage Through Archaeogaming on the Lower North Shore
How epistemic frictions reconfigured the Quebecois contract archaeology normative structure
Cultural resource management (CRM), or contract archaeology—archaeological work conducted upstream to land development projects—has come under criticism for enacting neoliberal and colonial agendas. While this criticism is sound, it is also “negative,” in that it entertains an alienating narrative by eschewing resistance attempts by CRM archaeologists. I draw on my own work as an organizer amongst Quebecois CRM workers, as well as on the process …
The Social Life of Palimpsests: Skill, Bifacial Stone Knapping, and Differentiation in the Plowed Fields of La Martre
And Still, Ancestors Remain Out of Their Graves: Reflections on Past, Present, and Future Bioarchaeological Practices while Building an Indigenous Cultural Heritage Database in Quebec
This article addresses past and present bioarchaeological practices and human remains management in Quebec; it focuses on the challenges of creating a bioarchaeological database during a two-phase project initiated in 2018-2019 by the Kahnawake Mohawk Council. Its goal was to help Indigenous communities engaged in repatriation and rematriation procedures. Key information regarding human remains' current location from the 2018 database served as t…

Analyzing skill in lithic dispersions using width, thickness and width-by-thickness ratio
Lithic dispersions are spreads of various shapes (e.g. tools, preforms, cores, flakes, blades) that have been discarded by stone knappers at similar or various steps of their development. They extend beyond archaeologists’ chronological and spatial boundaries. They hold information on past techniques and practices. To explore that information, archaeologists need to work through the various processes that shaped lithic dispersions. I argue that s…
Skill in Stone Knapping: An Ecological Approach
An Experimental Organization of Precarious Professionals
This article discusses the sector-wide organization of contractual archaeologists in Québec, beginning with the formation of a workers' committee and leading subsequently to union accreditation. We theorize the difficulty of organizing these "precarious professionals" and suggest that self-organization outside of an industrial relations framework may be required to overcome barriers to their unionization. Deliberation, norm setting, and informal …
