Remapping the Senegambian megaliths
Between 1969 and 1982, Victor Martin and Charles Becker led a series of reconnaissance missions to document thousands of sites for their Inventaire des Sites Protohistoriques de la Sénégambie. This dataset has since become a cornerstone in the archaeology of central Senegambia, where site distribution maps continue to define a “Megalith Zone” and provide context for excavations at well-known type-sites. However, we argue that spatial and quantita…

Building a Sustainable Community Archaeology in Black Appalachia
Junaluska is a historically Black community in the southern Appalachian town of Boone, North Carolina. In 2020, we began a collaborative archaeology project with the community-based Junaluska Heritage Association to address two community concerns: (1) identifying unmarked graves at the Clarissa Hill Cemetery and (2) learning more about the nineteenth and early twentieth-century origins of Junaluska. Here we present our ongoing work on these herit…
Counter-infrastructure in the US-Mexico borderlands
Massive infrastructures of transportation and border security, designed to control flows of people and things, dominate the contemporary US–Mexico border. Together, these material projects work to inscribe the hegemonic processes of neoliberal capitalism and national sovereignty onto the physical landscape and into everyday life, giving them an aura of inevitability and permanence. Using archaeology, we challenge this narrative by exploring the c…
Composing Complexity in the Eastern Woodlands
The archaeological record of the American Eastern Woodlands has been the subject of research on the origins and organization of complex societies for decades. Much of this research, ultimately grounded in political-economic theories of accumulation, underscores how foraging, horticultural, and agricultural societies manifested complexity in different ways belying their similar signposts of complexity, including monumental architecture, long-dista…

Histories and Material Manifestations of Slavery in the Upper Gambia River Region
The Bandafassi Regional Archaeological Project (BRAP) explores a multiethnic landscape in the upper Gambia River region heavily impacted by slavery. The project assesses discourses of different stakeholders to see what is silenced, acknowledged, centered, and decentered in historical narratives. This article compares if and how slavery is invoked by narrators discussing the Atlantic era history of our study area, a region that today includes the …
Surveilling Surveillance
This paper examines how mapping technology is central to the operation of the United States Border Patrol security apparatus on the US/Mexico Border, and explores how the very same mapping technology can be used in critique this security project. Drawing on the concept of counter-mapping, we use spatial data collected by the Undocumented Migration Project – a long-term anthropological project aimed at understanding various elements of the violent…
By the Time I Get to Arizona
Each year hundreds of thousands of people attempt to enter the United States from Mexico without authorization by crossing the Sonoran Desert on foot or using false identification at ports of entry. During this crossing process, people actively construct, contest, and obfuscate a multiplicity of identities through various forms of material culture including clothing, hygiene and cosmetic products, and identification paperwork. These identities in…
Crafting, Cooking, and Constructing Histories
Comparing Craft and Culinary Practice in Africa
Sites of Contention
Recognizing that archaeologies of the contemporary past are inherently political, this paper examines the ways in which the definition and classification of sites plays into archaeological praxis in the US-Mexico borderlands of southern Arizona. Fundamentally, our classification of contemporary archaeological sites seeks to organize spatial and material data collected by the Undocumented Migration Project (UMP) as a methodological step in creatin…
Hunting on the margins of medieval West African states
Leather, animal skins and ivory were important components of the economies of medieval West African societies. Despite the prominent role of hunters in diverse oral histories throughout the region, little is known about the actual production of animal products, in particular those derived from wild animals. This paper presents a preliminary examination of the zooarchaeological record of Diouboye, an eleventh- to fourteenth-century AD settlement l…
Daily Life in the Land of Bambuk
Practical knowledge and politics of encounter along the Lower Falémé River, Senegambia ( c. AD 1500–1925)
Beyond the growing entanglement of African and European worlds, the Atlantic era also witnessed transformations in the economic institutions, political regimes, and social identities that inhered between African societies, such as those of the interior of Senegambia. This paper traces how such historical processes both emerged from and shaped the quotidian practices and encounters manifest in the production of earthenware pottery along the easter…
