Native American Religions: Teaching and Learning on Stolen Land is an introduction to the religious life of Native American people in North America. Weaving together historical, ethnographic, theoretical, and legal materials, the book focuses on how religion is politicized in North America in the Native American context. Noting that no Native language actually has a word translatable to "religion," as the sacred and the secular are not separate spheres in Native traditions, and that religion is a colonial construct, the book adopts theories and methods from Native American and Indigenous studies to understand Native American and Indigenous religious traditions.Written with the student in mind, this cutting-edge volume brings together 17 Indigenous and non-Indigenous scholars of various career stages to offer a theoretical framework through which to think about the role of religion in US-Native relations alongside real world case studies. This book introduces students to the histories of Native American peoples, including discussion of Indigenous intellectual traditions, Indigenous sovereignty movements, and practices such as cultural appropriation and land acknowledgement, to make the case that Native American religions are a political phenomenon. With student-friendly pedagogy throughout, including discussion questions and "further resources" lists, it is a must-read for all students and teachers of Native American Religions, Religion in America, or Indigenous Studies.

This handbook provides a comprehensive and authoritative overview of pastoralism, combining major theoretical debates with an interdisciplinary and comparative perspective on pastoral systems across the world.Approaching pastoralism as a social-ecological system, the volume synthesizes current knowledge about how pastoralists make a living and organize social life while managing herds in diverse and often highly variable environments. Understanding pastoralism in this holistic way requires an approach that bridges disciplines: not only anthropology, but also rangeland ecology, animal science, agricultural economics, veterinary epidemiology, and related fields. The handbook's chapters are organized into eight parts that examine: the emergence of pastoralism; its biophysical foundations; the economics of pastoral production; adaptive strategies; social and political organization; new methodological and analytical approaches; development and policy perspectives; and possible futures for pastoral systems. Together, these contributions advance the field by offering both a state-of-the-art guide and a source of inspiration for future research. The volume is designed to serve as a reference for scholars seeking to launch innovative, impactful studies, as well as for policymakers and practitioners working to design effective interventions that support pastoral livelihoods.This handbook is an indispensable resource on pastoralism for students, researchers, and professionals.

Troilo, Simona (ed.), Excavating Power: Archaeological Labour, Imperial Narratives, and Identities in Eastern Mediterranean (19th-20th c.). 143 pp. 2026:4 (Routledge, UK) <765-1000>
ISBN 978-1-041-23785-3 hard ¥44,819.- (税込) GB￡ 145.00

This book analyses archaeological excavations and the use of antiquities in the eastern Mediterranean from a unique and original perspective, that of power relations built on the vestiges of the past. Starting with Egypt, Crete, Palestine, Greece and Ottoman Empire, the authors of the essays reconstruct the history of some European excavations in Ottoman and post-Ottoman times, bringing to light the marginalised actors and the different narratives shaped on antiquities. Men, women and children recruited locally to dig, guides and interpreters in the service of archaeologists are some of the protagonists of these stories, which allow us to go beyond European stereotypes and shed light on how local communities perceived and experienced the excavations. The narratives and interpretations applied to unearthed or restored antiquities also help us understand how traces of the past were used to legitimise imperialism and reinforce identities based on ideas of cultural superiority and inferiority.This interdisciplinary volume spans archaeology, colonial studies, Ottoman history, Mediterranean studies, and cultural anthropology, making it essential reading for students and researchers in Middle Eastern studies, museum studies, and heritage management and scholars examining the intersection of power, identity, and heritage.The chapters in this book were originally published as a special issue of European Review of History.

Water Powers is an interdisciplinary collection that presents timely, original research on sacred aquatic animals-from dragons and nagas to crocodiles, eels, dugongs, and whales-and environmental change. Contributors examine the past and present significance of these creatures in Nepal, India, Thailand, Laos, Cambodia, Vietnam, China, Japan, Okinawa, Indonesia, and Aotearoa-New Zealand to explore the diverse relationships between animals, deities, humans, and bodies of water. In so doing, they challenge narratives about disenchantment as a core aspect of modernization, seeking to give the sacred creatures and the rituals associated with them a more central place in debates about environmental degradation and conservation initiatives. Their work converges around three core themes: (1) divine embodiment and materiality (how sacred beings manifest themselves and act in the world); (2) making and crossing boundaries (how aquatic animals are constrained by but also challenge physical, ontological, and conceptual boundaries); and (3) crises and relationality (how more-than-human relationships change in response to environmental and other crises). Water Powers will appeal to scholars and students across multiple fields, including anthropology, religious studies, environmental humanities, geography, development studies, history, and archaeology. The book will also interest development experts, conservationists, museum curators, and readers engaged with culture, religion, and environmental change in the Asia-Pacific region.

From genome sequencing to large sky surveys, digital technologies produce massive datasets that promise unprecedented scientific insights. But data, for being good to use and reuse, need people - scientists, technicians, and administrators - as embodied, evaluative, social humans. In this book, anthropologist Goetz Hoeppe draws on an ethnography of astronomical research to examine the media and practices that scientists and technicians use to instruct graduate students, make diagrams for data calibration and discovery, organize collaborative work, negotiate the ethics of open access, encode their knowledge in datasets - and do social inquiries along the way. This book offers a reflection on the sociality of data-rich research that will benefit attempts to integrate human and machine learning. It is essential reading for anyone interested in data science, science and technology studies, as well as the anthropology, sociology, history, and philosophy of science. This book is also available Open Access on Cambridge Core.

A man of many talents-naturalist, geographer, anthropologist, and political commentator-Alfred Russel Wallace made seminal contributions to science in the nineteenth century. With Wallace in the Field, Victor Rafael Limeira-DaSilva unpacks the early life of one of the most beloved and famous Victorian scientific figures. Focusing on Wallace's significant contribution to the emergence of anthropology, Limeira-DaSilva traces the peripatetic trajectory of Wallace's field work, from his humble beginnings in the suburbs of London to his travels through the Brazilian Amazon and Asia. Challenging traditional portrayals that cast Wallace as Darwin's sidekick or a casual ethnographer, the book demonstrates how he built a deliberate and ambitious career as a field observer of human diversity. It offers a fresh perspective on the intersections between ethnographic encounters, racial science, and knowledge production, revealing how Wallace's pursuit of recognition helped redefine the standards of scientific authority in British anthropology.

In this revised and updated translation of Das Radikaldemokratische Museum, Sternfeld offers a timely critique of museums as they exist today and instead calls for museums to be reconceptualised as contested spaces for debate and new forms of political activism.Drawing upon approaches from museum studies, education and critical theory, this volume challenges past and present exhibitions and reconsiders how museum spaces can be re-appropriated in order to produce critical knowledge, rethink education, and challenge collections. In doing so, Sternfeld envisages the radical democratic museum as a space that allows us to grapple with the past, negotiate what this means for the present, and to imagine a future that is more than simply an extension of the present.This provocative and timely book will be relevant to scholars, students and practitioners with interests in museums, critical heritage studies, social justice and political movements.

How Our Restless Ancestors Shaped the Interconnected World We Live in Today First Migrants Revisited: Ancient Migration in Global Perspective reveals how human and hominin migrations over the past five million years shaped the world we inhabit today. Peter Bellwood synthesises insights from archaeology, palaeoanthropology, genetics, and linguistics to trace humanity's earliest movements - from the first African expansions to the global spread of agriculture. The book reveals how migration redistributed the results of biological and cultural evolution, transforming societies and environments in every corner of the globe. Bringing together decades of scholarship, Bellwood challenges simplistic narratives of ancient migration as random events without cause or consequence, instead positioning it as a powerful mechanism the behind the formation and spread of new patterns in human biology and culture. Through rich interdisciplinary analysis, he shows how the permanent movements of populations created enduring patterns of genetic, linguistic, and cultural diversity that continue to define us. Covering the migrations of early hominins, Homo sapiens dispersals across continents, and the global diffusion of agriculture, the book provides a richly interdisciplinary account of humanity's shared past, drawing clear connections between environmental change, demographic expansion, and the human impulse to explore. Deepening our understanding of migration as one of the most enduring forces in human history, First Migrants Revisited: Reinterprets migration as a dynamic process of redistribution of human biology, culture, and language Highlights the enduring consequences of prehistoric migration for contemporary human societiesProvides new insights into the large-scale population movements that shaped the genetic, cultural, and linguistic diversity that still characterizes humanity todayFeatures accessible summaries of the latest findings on early Homo sapiens dispersals and the global spread of agricultureIncludes comparative discussions of different hominin species and their adaptive strategies First Migrants Revisited: Ancient Migration in Global Perspective is ideally suited for upper-level undergraduate and postgraduate courses in archaeology, anthropology, human evolution, and historical linguistics, as well as for modules in global history, evolutionary biology, and population genetics within BA, BSc, and MA degree programmes.

Women, Fertility, and North American Archaeology brings together more than three decades of Cheryl Claassen's groundbreaking work on gender and archaeology. Featuring articles originally published between 1989 and 2023, the volume makes available the full scope of Claassen's work related to Archaic and Woodland-era women in the Southeastern United States, women working as archaeologists, and the development of a gendered archaeological inquiry. Organized in two parts, the collection begins with essays on the emergence of gender as an archaeological category and on the role of women in a field once dominated by masculine perspectives. The second half of the volume turns to archaeological explorations of women in prehistory, including women's labor, fertility, and ritual practices, and how these facets of life were linked to and influenced by the landscapes and resources of the time. With introductions to each section that discuss the genesis of ideas and provide additional context for each paper, Claassen situates her work within the broader history of the discipline. Illustrated with thirty images and maps and including previously difficult-to-find articles, this volume is an essential resource for archaeologists, students of anthropology, and scholars of gender and women's studies.

Excavations at the Austin Friary, Hull, Yorkshire, 1994 and 1999, Part 2, details the excavations of the Austin Friary in Hull, a house founded in 1316/17 and surrendered to the Crown in 1539.This volume concentrates on the material culture recovered during the excavations. The site yielded a nationally significant group of medieval coffins, all but one of which were made of imported Baltic oak - the largest assemblage of such timber from the whole of Britain. There were also significant collections of well preserved textiles, leather, wood and dress-accessories. In addition, some of the burials were accompanied by carefully placed wooden rods, an under-reported burial tradition which can be found on either side of the North Sea. Many of the monastic buildings were reused after the Dissolution in 1539; partly in consequence, a large assemblage of masonry and ceramic building materials was recovered from this site. There were also significant collections of floor tiles (both plain and decorated), and window-glass, whilst other finds include rare finds of musical instrument components. Cumulatively, this volume sheds significant light upon a whole range of aspects of life and death within this northern religious house for a period of over two centuries, as well as offering yet more valuable evidence about Hull's extensive medieval trading-links, as one of England's leading ports.This book is for researchers and archaeologists interested in the archaeology of medieval Britain as well as the role of Christianity in the Middle Ages.

Imperial and Royal Archaeologies explores material evidence for the lifestyles and actions of emperors, empresses, kings, and queens, in the late antique world, A.D. 284-650. Coverage is firstly by region, from the Great Palace of Constantinople, through the 'Forum of Valens' of Antioch to the Tetrarchic capital of Thessalonica. It then turns to the royal courts of the West, notably of Britain and Spain. Those of Nubia, Axum, and Persia are also compared. The old capital of Rome furnishes studies of imperial insignia, triumphal monuments, and statues of ministers. Other aspects of imperial power are scrutinised: the policies of Diocletian, Constantine, or Julian, on temple construction, and Justinian or others, on military campaigns. Finally, Isauria is investigated as the imperial homeland of Zeno. Contributors are Kerim Altug, Javier Arce, Manuel Castro Priego, Peter Crawford, Ken Dark, Pilar Diarte Blasco, Lucia Dominici, Maria Duggan, Hugh Elton, Hossein Habibi, Nikos Karydis, Luke Lavan, Paolo Liveriani, Dominic Moreau, Lauro Olmo, Ioan Opris, Hatice Pamir, Clementina Panella, Martin Papworth, Jacke Phillips, Constantinos Raptis, Catherine Saliou, Alexander Sarantis, Andy Seaman, Ignazio Tantillo, David Walsh, Nigel Westbrook, and Dobrochna Zielinska.
