On “Distorting history”: A reply to Staffan Lundén
Earlier this year a Swedish archaeologist based at Gothenburg University’s Centre for Critical Heritage Studies published an unfounded ad hominem attack on me in the pages of the International Journal of Cultural Property. I am grateful to the editors for this right to reply to Staffan Lundén’s wholly spurious claims, and order to correct the record. Despite its provocative, “clickbait” title, not one substantive mistake or incorrect fact was ide…

Necrography: Death-Writing in the Colonial Museum
When it comes to the study of artworks as material culture, there are few more familiar idioms than that of the “life-history” of the object. From Arjun Appadurai’s formulation of “the social life of things” (1986) to Bruno Latour’s business-school model of “actor-networks” (1993), over the past generation a particular variety of materialist anthropology has taken root in those parts of historical studies that deal with things. “If humans have bi…

Lande: The Calais 'Jungle' and Beyond
Available Open Access under CC-BY-NC licence. How can Archaeology help us understand our contemporary world? This ground-breaking book reflects on material, visual and digital culture from the Calais “Jungle” – the informal camp where, before its destruction in October 2016, more than 10,000 displaced people lived. LANDE: The Calais 'Jungle' and Beyond reassesses how we understand ‘crisis’, activism, and the infrastructure of national borders in …

Mme Éléonore KISSEL Au pôle conservation-restauration, nous partons de l’objet. Avec la présentation de Wayne Modest, nous avons vu que l’on peut partir d’encore plus loin et partir directement du matériau et de toutes les interrogations qu’a soulevée la présence même de ce matériau dans tel ou tel objet sur le plan matériel, sur le plan de l’économie, de l’écologie, des symboles. Nous avons également vu que la matérialité des collections peut êt…

The Temporality of the Landscape Revisited
This is an essay about the connections between the passage of time and the condition of archaeological knowledge. It revisits Tim Ingold's 1993 paper 'The Temporality of the Landscape', considering its relationship with the phenomenological and interpretive archaeologies of the 1990s and what we learn from it today. Engaged not so much in an 'ontological turn' as in a kind of archival return, the essay compares Ingold's discussion of Bruegel's pa…

Four-Field Anthropology: Charter Myths and Time Warps from St. Louis to Oxford
The four-field model of anthropology is conventionally understood to have begun with a paper read by Franz Boas in St. Louis in 1904. Publishing for the first time a drawing made by Augustus Pitt-Rivers in England in 1882, this paper rethinks this proposition by making two arguments. First, the paper explores the role of the classificatory anthropology of the 1870s and 1880s on both sides of the Atlantic in the emergence of the idea of organizing…

Managing the Inclusion Process in Collaborative Governance
Facilitators that use a collaborative governance approach are regularly pushed, mandated, or naturally desire to achieve broad inclusion of stakeholders in collaborations. How to achieve such inclusion is an important but often overlooked aspect of implementation. To fully realize the value of collaborative governance, we investigate how institutional design choices made about inclusion practices during the critical early stages of collaboration …

Rematerialising Metropolitan Histories? People, Places and Things in Modern London
In recent years historians have begun to show renewed interest in studying ‘the material’ dimensions to urban life. This shift has opened up a space for new dialogues between historians and post-medieval archaeologists working on British cities. It off ers the potential for reassessing approaches to studying the urban past and for experimenting withfresh methodologies. Noting that archaeological perspectives have been largely absent from recent h…
Improvement: What Kind of Archaeological Object is it? A Review Article
In this review article, Dan Hicks works through the approach to “the archaeology of improvement” adopted in the book The Archaeology of Improvement in Britain, 1750–1850 (2007) by historical archaeologist Sarah Tarlow. Tracing the Interpretive Critique of traditional British post-medieval archaeology, the review considers the implications of the book's approach to archaeological practice, especially in relation to materiality, historiography, and…
Places for thinking' from Annapolis to Bristol: Situations and Symmetries in 'World Historical Archaeologies
The past decade has seen many calls for the development of unified 'world historical archaeologies' of the past 500 years. While the field benefits from growing international exchanges and collaborations, retaining the diversity of regional traditions is a major and emerging challenge. As the field increasingly tests the temporal, geographical and interdisciplinary limits of archaeological perspectives, engaging with the diversity of modern mater…

Archaeology Unfolding: Diversity and the Loss of Isolation
British historical archaeology has seen new theoretical engagement in recent years. A diverse and distinctive body of theory has developed in this increasingly vibrant and international area of study, testing disciplinary boundaries, especially with history, social anthropology and material culture studies. This paper takes stock of three distinct processes within the new historical archaeology: the birth of material history, the loss of antiquit…
Cultural beliefs about rape and victims' response in three ethnic groups
Cultural definitions of rape were assessed among 101 African-American, Hispanic, and non-Hispanic white female rape victims and 89 nonvictims matched for ethnicity, age, marital status, and socioeconomic status. Hispanics scored highest and whites lowest both in perceived community victim-blaming and in victims' psychological distress. Social and treatment implications are discussed
