From adorned nudity to a dignitary’s wardrobe
On early metallurgy and textile-production technologies in the southern Levant
In a recent article published in this journal, Langgut et al. (2016: 973) proposed five Late Chalcolithic ( c . 4300–4000 BC) wooden shafts to be “the earliest Near Eastern wooden spinning implements”. Here we discuss these unique finds in light of their cultural and technological contexts, and suggest an alternative interpretation according to which these wooden shafts, one with a lead macehead lodged on its upper end, were components of the cul…
If it looks like a duck
We appreciate the emerging discussion on the identification of the recently discovered Chalcolithic artefacts from the Judean Desert, and the careful attention to detail by Langgut et al. (above) that helps to further clarify our current understanding of spinning and metallurgical technologies in this period. Yet while we agree that by its nature archaeology is full of surprises and exceptional discoveries, we argue, however, that especially in s…
What I Believe
I propose that a feminist approach will enrich archaeology in the Southeast and Midsouth. Feminist archaeology starts by taking the lives of women seriously in thinking about past human societies. This standpoint has implications for all topics of interest for Southeastern archaeologists: subsistence patterns, craft production, exchange, development of political systems, warfare, ritual, and so forth. Feminist archaeologists are also self-reflexi…

Spinning in the 5th millennium in the Southern Levant
Artifacts and products related to spinning became relatively abundant in the southern Levant during the latter half of the 5th millennium BCE. Contrary to widespread scholarly opinions wool was not used for yarn production. Flax was the only fibre used. All the sites with remains of textiles or evidence for intensification of spinning are currently within the semi-arid zone, lacking the conditions favoured for flax cultivation or excess water for…

Archaeology, communication, and multiple stakeholders
This article reviews discussions and debates about effective communication within North American archaeology. The development of cultural resource management and the expansion of Native American control over archaeology have both influenced the practice and communication of archaeology. The concept of diverse stakeholders derives from discussions about ethics in archaeology, but is relevant to understanding the complexities of archaeological comm…

Prehistory, Identity, and Archaeological Representation in Nordic Museums
In this article, I examine the variable representation of Saami (Lapp) prehistory in several Nordic museums. The analysis is situated at the intersection of (1) the examination of the ideology of archaeological practice, (2) the discourse about creation of indigenous identity, and (3) the visual culture of museum exhibitions. I describe and analyze displays about archaeology and prehistory from seven museums in Sweden, Finland, and Norway. The pr…

Heterarchy in Bronze Age Denmark
The social system of Bronze Age Denmark (c. 1500-500 BC) Is analyzed from the perspective of heterarchy. Special emphasis is placed on archeological evidence from habitation sites, Including direct evidence of economic activities and production control. The history of such research is reviewed to reveal the intellectual traditions of previous analyses. In addition, gender relations and the role of ritual in the social system are considered. The f…

A Look at Current School-Linked Service Efforts
The authors of this article contend that there is no single model for school-linked services. Rather, they conclude that lessons from existing efforts indicate that such services must be shaped according to the needs of the community and of the students being served. Six current school-linked service efforts are described in terms of the goals of the effort, who is served, what services are offered, where services are located, and who is responsi…

Archaeological Perspectives on Death Ritual
Archaeological interest in death ritual usually focuses on the material remains ofthe ritual. In Europe prehistorians have particularly emphasized the study of monumental Neolithic and Bronze Age tombs. Several themes of this archaeological research are relevant for sociocultural anthropologists interested in death ritual. variability and change in mortuary remains, control of resources for producing them, and the permanence of mortuary monuments…

Evidence of Social Stratification in Bronze Age Denmark
The Late Bronze Age hoards (12th–6th centuries B.C.) from Denmark are examined as evidence of the existence of social ranking in that prehistoric society. The hoards contain bronze weapons and ornaments which seem to function as sumptuary goods and appear to be ranked according to regular rules. The hoards also represent economic wealth and include objects of ritual importance. This intersection, in single finds, of material reflections of the po…
