        Images in the making

        Art, process, archaeology

        by Ing-Marie Back Danielsson, Andrew Meirion Jones, Joshua Pollard

        This book offers an analysis of archaeological imagery based on new materialist approaches. Reassessing the representational paradigm of archaeological image analysis, it argues for the importance of ontology, redefining images as material processes or events that draw together differing aspects of the world. The book is divided into three sections: 'Emergent images', which focuses on practices of making; 'Images as process', which examines the making and role of images in prehistoric societies; and 'Unfolding images', which focuses on how images change as they are made and circulated. Featuring contributions from archaeologists, Egyptologists, anthropologists and artists, it highlights the multiple role of images in prehistoric and historic societies, while demonstrating that scholars need to recognise their dynamic and changeable character.

        Our real life in tombs

        British literature and archaeology, 1880-1930

        by Angela Blumberg, Andrew Smith, Anna Barton

        Our real life in tombs: British literature and archaeology, 1880-1930 reveals how British writers and artists across the long turn of the twentieth century engaged with archaeological discourse-its artefacts, landscapes, bodies, and methods-uncovering the materials of the past to envision radical possibilities for the present and future. This project traces how archaeology shaped major late-Victorian and modern discussions: informing debates over shifting gender roles; facilitating the development of queer iconography and the recovery of silenced or neglected histories; inspiring artefactual forgery and transforming modern conceptions of authenticity; and helping writers and artists historicise the traumas of the First World War. Ultimately unearthing archaeology at the centre of these major discourses, this book simultaneously positions literary and artistic engagements with the archaeological imagination as forms of archaeological knowledge in themselves.

        Late Prehistoric Human  Remains in Semporna

        by Eng Ken Khong

        The finding of prehistoric human remains in Sabah  has  been  scarce  until the  discovery  of  two  late  Metal  period  burial  sites  in  Semporna  between  years 2002 and 2007, i.e. Melanta Tutup and Bukit  Kamiri. Prior to this, only a handful of human teeth  found  at Melanta  Tutup  (Neolithic)  in  2002–2003  and  later  in  2005  at  Gua  Balambangan  (late  Palaeolithic), an island off the northern tip of Kudat.  While these teeth had provided ample information  about the prehistoric people, the discoveries of two  burial  sites  at  Semporna  have  provided  several  well‐preserved  prehistoric  human  remains.  They  provide a glimpse into these people’s identity, living  conditions and environment.

        Movement, Connectivity, and Landscape Change in the Ancient Southwest

        The 20th Anniversary Southwest Symposium

        by Margaret C Nelson (Edtor) , Colleen A Strawhacker (Editor)

        A collection of the papers presented at the Twentieth Anniversary Southwest Symposium, this book looks back at the issues raised in the first symposium in 1988 and tackles three contemporary domains in archaeology: landscape use and ecological change, movement and ethnogenesis, and connectivity among social groups through time and space. Across these sections the authors address the relevance of archaeology in the modern world; new approaches and concerns about collaboration across disciplines, communities, and subgroups; and the importance of multiple perspectives. Particular attention is paid to the various ways that archaeology can and should contribute to contemporary social and environmental issues. Contributors come together to provide a synthetic volume on current research and possibilities for future explorations. Moving forward, they argue that archaeologists must continue to include researchers from across political and disciplinary boundaries and enhance collaboration with Native American groups. This book will be of interest to professional and academic archaeologists, as well as students working in the field of the American Southwest.

        Fringe Archaeology

        Unraveling the Mysteries of the Past

        by Christopher DeCorse

        Fringe Archaeology: Unraveling the Mysteries of the Past explores the intersection of archaeology with popular culture, myth, and fiction. Beginning with archaeology's representation in popular media, the book scrutinizes the distinction between modern archaeology and alternative, fantastic, and fringe narratives of the past. The text examines the antiquarian roots of archaeology, conflicting interpretations of the archaeological record, and the impact of pseudo-archaeological claims on public understanding.Through nine engaging chapters, readers are guided through topics covering the foundations of archaeological methods, the fossil record of human origins, the relationship between Neanderthals and modern humans, the complexities of Neolithic cultures, fact and fantasy in the study of the ancient Egyptian past, and the story of Nazi archaeology and the politics of the past. The book demystifies sensationalist and non-scientific interpretations while providing a clear understanding of archaeological practice and evidence.Designed to enhance students’ critical thinking, the evaluation of archaeological evidence, and the responsible interpretation of the past, Fringe Archaeology is an exemplary resource as a primary or supplementary textbook for archaeology, history, and anthropology classes.
