Journal Article Is There Such a Thing as Animism? Get access Darryl Wilkinson Darryl Wilkinson *Darryl Wilkinson, McDonald Institute for Archaeological Research, Downing St., University of Cambridge, Cambridge, CB2 3ER, UK. E-mail: [email protected]. An earlier version of this article was circulated among the members of the A. W. Mellon Seminar housed in the Center for the Humanities at the University of Wisconsin-Madison. I particularly wish to express my thanks to Jolyon Thomas, Sissel Schroeder, Elaine Fisher, Jessica Courtier, Darien Lamen, Daegan Miller, Sarah Thal, and Jill Casid for their insightful and critical commentaries, all of which served to improve the text considerably. I also presented some of these ideas in a very preliminary form at the 2012 Theoretical Archaeology Group meetings, where a thoughtful question from Severin Fowles pushed me to consider the distinction between animism and fetishism in greater detail, a prompt for which I am very grateful. Any errors of fact, interpretation, or judgment remain my own.
