About the book:
Archaeological practice is currently shifting in response to feminist, indigenous, activist, community-based, and anarchic critiques of how archaeology is practiced and how science is used to interpret the past lives of people. Inspired by the calls for a different way of doing archaeology, this volume presents a case here for a heart-centered archaeological practice.
An archaeology of the heart provides a new space for thinking through an integrated, responsible, and grounded archaeology, where there is care for the living and the dead, acknowledges the need to build responsible relationships with communities, and with the archaeological record, and emphasize the role of rigor in how work and research is conducted.
Overview:
- Develops the idea of archaeologies of the heart as a practice with expands to the entirety of the archaeological process, from excavation to lab work, from teaching students to sitting with elders, from working with collaborators to publishing results
- Contributions take on the challenge of integrating heart-centered practices into a discipline which remains grounded in science and objectivity
- Temporal diversity of this research spans from contemporary and Historical Archaeology to the Middle Paleolithic
