Significant Difference

What is it like to complete archaeological research in an on-reservation setting? The answer is that it could be the same as anywhere else in the country as field crews work to excavate the perquisite number of shovel-tests or test units within a geographically specified area of potential effect. At the Seminole Tribe of Florida THPO we have one significant difference between us and “typical” cultural resource management–based research. We remain in situ long after the project is complete. The philosophy of the THPO is that the long-term success of the on-reservation archaeology program revolves around successful communication and engagement with the community in order to preserve and protect important elements of their collective heritage. The THPO is still fairly young as an organization, and the sight of people walking through pastures with shovels and trowels is novel to most, if not all, of the residents of any given reservation. The moments that archaeologists and community interact are therefore critical. This is definitely the case in the following chapter which begins with a particular incident that universally brings people of all cultures together—lunch.

New Perspective

This book provides a radical rethinking of the relationships between teaching, researching, digging, and practicing as an archaeologist in the twenty-first century. The issues addressed here are global and are applicable wherever archaeology is taught, practiced, and researched. In short, this book is applicable to everyone from academia to cultural resource management (CRM), from heritage professional to undergraduate student. At its heart, it addresses the undervaluation of teaching, demonstrating that this affects the fundamentals of contemporary archaeological practice, and is particularly connected to the lack of diversity in disciplinary demographics. It proposes a solution which is grounded in a theoretical rethinking of our teaching, training, and practice. Drawing upon the insights from archaeology’s current material turn, and particularly Deleuze and Guattari’s concept of assemblages, this volume turns the discipline of archaeology into the subject of investigation, considering the relationships between teaching, practice, and research. It offers a new perspective which prompts a rethinking of our expectations and values with regard to teaching, training, and doing archaeology, and ultimately argues that we are all constantly becoming archaeologists.
