Kryder-Reid, Elizabeth
I just don't ever use that word
Understanding the value of heritage sites for diverse stakeholders requires both paying attention to the fields of power in which the sites operate and applying methodologies that are open to user-defined paradigms of value. In the U.S., official discourse often frames the value of heritage sites associated the deep Native American past as archaeological sites, an interpretation that is consistent with settler colonial ideologies. This narrative …
Changing archaeology's 'brand' would be helpful
González-Ruibal et al. raise challenging issues that seem frightening in their implications. In both their specificity and their wider theoretical contexts, I had previously given these issues little thought, and some I had not even recognised. I share fully the authors' concern that archaeologists must seek ways to engage people influenced by 'reactionary populism', people who "are diverse, fragmented and complex", and who may be "greedy, patria…

Activism and creating a translational archaeology of homelessness
Archaeologists can provide useful perspectives on contemporary social problems if they are willing to engage in 'politics' and translate their findings into information useful for developing social policy, and if they are willing to become activists. To do this they need to emphasize the acquisition, use and distribution of material culture and work collaboratively with communities. This paper provides a brief example of how translational archaeo…
The Premise and Promise of Indigenous Archaeology
Researchers have increasingly promoted an emerging paradigm of Indigenous archaeology, which includes an array of practices conducted by, for, and with Indigenous communities to challenge the discipline's intellectual breadth and political economy. McGhee (2008) argues that Indigenous archaeology is not viable because it depends upon the essentialist concept of 'Aboriginalism.' In this reply, we correct McGhee's description of Indigenous Archaeol…

Zimmerman (bio) The scrutiny of racism as a cultural practice is well established in scholarship and in American public discourse.

Public Heritage, a Desire for a "White" History for America, and Some Impacts of the Kennewick Man/ Ancient One Decision
The most recent opinion in the so-called Kennewick Man or Ancient One (as many American Indians choose to call the skeleton) case by the United States Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit unfortunately resurrects some very old and contentious issues in America. Indians mostly view the opinion as one more echo of the same old story of Native American property issues raised in the courts, but they also understand that some implications may be bro…

Listening to the teachers
In the United States, archaeology is generally regarded by the public as having little practical utility. For most who pay any attention to it, archaeology is simply an exotic hobby, a branch of history that provides little more than an interesting perspective and perhaps a bit of intrigue. Still, the exotic has appeal, and many elementary-school children fantasize a future as an archaeologist as one of their first career choices.

Conclusion
In this concluding chapter, titled "Anthros, Indians, and Planetary Reality," Vine Deloria Jr. synthesizes the preceding critiques of anthropology offered in *Indians & Anthropologists*. He reiterates his central argument that anthropology, as traditionally practiced, has often failed to understand and respect Indigenous perspectives, treating Native cultures as objects of study rather than as complex, living societies. Deloria emphasizes the nee…
Indians and Anthropologists
In 1969 Vine Deloria, Jr., in his controversial book Custer Died for Your Sins, criticized the anthropological community for its impersonal dissection of living Native American cultures. Twenty-five years later, anthropologists have become more sensitive to Native American concerns, and Indian people have become more active in fighting for accurate representations of their cultures. In this collection of essays, Indian and non-Indian scholars exa…
Epilogue
A dozen years ago, in the aftermath of a disastrous meeting with the Executive Committee of the Society for American Archaeology,1 Jan Hammil of American Indians Against Desecration and I were commiserating about how difficult it would be to convince archaeologists to change their views regarding human remains. We were depressed about the prospects, and we agreed that attitudes probably would not change much within our lifetimes. Events over the …

Ante-Mortem Osteopathology At Crow Creek
In the mid-fourteenth century, over 486 individuals apparently were massacred at the Crow Creek Site (39 B F 11), located on the east bank of the Missouri River in South Dakota. During the analysis of the skeletons, a search was made for evidence of diseases, anomalies, and abnormalities which had affected these people during life and had left an imprint upon their bones. The salient pathology is tabulated here, discussed briefly, and illustrated…

Disputing the Dead
Each year the remains of hundreds of American Indians, Native Alaskans, and Native Hawaiians, along with artifacts such as potsherds and arrowheads, are discovered across the United States. As many as 600,000 aboriginal remains are currently held by museums, historical societies, universities, and private collections. To the scientific community they provide vital data for the study of human evolution. To many members of aboriginal communities, h…

The Crow Creek Massacre
Evidence of substantial malnutrition caused Gregg and Zimmerman (1986) and Zimmerman and Bradley (1 986) to suggest that the fourteenth century, Initial Coalescent tradition Crow Creek massacre resulted from internecine warfare over decreased food supplies, population increase, and access to horticultural lands along the Missouri River. A computer simulation suggests that such a scenario is feasible but related to population thresholds and arable…

Settlement-Subsistence Variability In The Glenwood Locality, Southwestern Iowa
Central Plains tradition settlement distribution in Southwest Iowa is poorly understood. Patterns of both nucleated and dispersed forms seem to be represented. The known distribution in the Glenwood locality is examined and an algorithm presented that could explain the existing variability. Initial locality occupants relied heavily on hunting and gathering with minimal horticulture during the Neoatlantic climatic episode. Isolated homesteads were…
Malnutrition in Fourteenth-Century South Dakota
Analysis of mutilated skeletons representing people massacred at the fourteenth-century Crow Creek village on the Missouri River bluffs in central proto-South Dakota provided information implicating metabolic deficiencies as significant factors in the catastrophe. Prominent findings were: lines in long bones indicating metabolic stress during growth; superior orbital plate, skull surface, and long bone changes attributable to iron deficiency anem…

Ecological Characterization as a Foundation for Prediction of Plains Village Tradition Site Locations in Central South Dakota
Upland Plains Village archaeological sites in Central South Dakota located by pedestrian survey were described in terms of physiography and vegetation. Randomly selected, non-archaeological sites were similarly described and served to define the universe of sites available for habitation along the east bank of the Missouri River/Lake Francis Case Reservoir. Physiographic differences between actual and “simulated” archaeological sites suggested th…
A Computer Simulation of Euro-American Trade Good Flow to the Arikara
A computer simulation is used to examine the influx of Euro-American trade goods to the Leavenworth site (39C09), the last earthlodge village occupied by the Arikara in South Dakota. Parameters for the simulation were set according to reliable historical sources, and over 200 computer runs were made. The simulation suggests that complete saturation of Euro-American goods could have occurred at an Arikara village fairly rapidly after the commencem…
