Between Memory And Materiality: An Archaeological Approach To Studying The Nazi Concentration Camps, Adrian Myers
Between Memory And Materiality: An Archaeological Approach To Studying The Nazi Concentration Camps, Adrian Myers
Adrian Myers
By its very nature, historical narrative that is rooted exclusively in textual sources is destined to be more linear, more univocal, and less equipped to deal with the problematic. On the other hand, due to its unique abilities and approaches, historical archaeology thrives on the tensions inherent to any attempt to understand past and present experience. In this article I negotiate between two approaches to studying the concentration camps of the Third Reich—one canonical the other experimental. It is suggested that when studying the camps, we are faced with a series of tensions: between past and present, between remembering and …

Over more than a century African diasporan scholars have defined identity in complex forms that aspire to resist racial essentialism yet stake consequential political claims to collective roots. Historical archaeology has painted a rich picture of the material details of African American life that also refutes black essentialism, but archaeologists have crafted many utterly fluid African diasporan identities that sometimes fail to examine the global connections, anti-racist citizen rights, and concrete cultural heritage long examined by diasporan scholars. An empirically and politically rigorous African diasporan archaeology would be significantly extended by diasporan scholarship’s vindicationist and reflective anti-racist perspectives. Such an …

Geomorfología Y Paisaje En Chavín De Huántar, Daniel A. Contreras
Daniel A. Contreras
El sitio arqueológico de Chavín de Huántar tiene varias décadas como enfoque de investigaciones arqueológicas, pero a pesar de casi 70 años de trabajo formal en arqueología su extensión y carácter siguen entendidos de forma incompleta. Este se debe al carácter del paisaje del sitio—o sea, su geomorfología. En este capitulo describo la geomorfologia del sitio arqueologico y sus alrededores, y planteo unas ideas preliminares con respeto al su importancia para los habitantes. The archaeological site of Chavín de Huántar has been a focus of archaeological research for several decades, but in spite of almost 70 years of formal archaeological …

This study uses ethnographic field data to derive an asymmetrical Cauchy (Gaussian) equation that describes the movement of a llama caravan along an ancient trail system as a function of topographic slope. This model is further refined by using ranked observations of changes in trail quality, the negotiation of obstacles such as stream-crossings, and the type and duration of rest periods during the daily travel. The resulting cost-distance function was then applied to the actual caravan route in order to evaluate the realism of the model.
