Most commonly found scraping dirt off dinosaur bones, archaeologists are the Girl Guides of social science. Can always be relied upon to carry obscure equipment, which makes them useful in everyday situations and absolutely essential in case of attack by the undead.
Social Anthropologist: "If only I could somehow get level with those runes lining the walls of the pit I could translate them!"
Token Archaeologist: "I have some rope and a harness in my bag."
Person in Street: "I'm having a heart attack!"
Passing Archaeologist: "Here, take my spare defibrillator."

Get the Email archaeology mug.The application of Critical Theory to archaeology—examining how the study of the past reflects present power relations, how archaeological narratives serve contemporary interests, and how archaeology might be decolonized. Critical Theory of Archaeology asks: Who owns the past? Whose ancestors are dug up? How have archaeological interpretations justified colonialism or nationalism? How might archaeology serve indigenous communities and struggles for justice? It doesn't reject archaeology but insists that digging up the past requires responsibility to the present and the people connected to that past.
"They dig up indigenous ancestors and put them in museums. Critical Theory of Archaeology asks: whose ancestors? Who gave permission? Who benefits? Archaeology that ignores living communities is grave robbing with credentials. Critical theory insists on archaeology with accountability—to the dead, yes, but also to the living."
