outrage archaeologist

One who sifts through historical records with the intent of discovering information on past actions or statements by persons or entities alive, dead, active or defunct - the relevance of which has long since passed - for the express purpose of alerting the public to the "resurfaced" material in order to take a moral stance and/or instill outrage.

By dredging-up a long-forgotten, 48 year old interview of John Wayne - who died in 1979 - the outrage archaeologist had rediscovered statements far more controversial in the present than they had been in the past, thus creating a new moral outrage over a functional irrelevancy.

Email archaeology

Reviewing and answering fossil emails, senders of which have long lost any hope of getting a response. Usually done when bored to the extent of taking time to clean the inbox.

- Thank you.
- What's up bro? You answered an email from 3 years ago. Are you into email archaeology?
- Yeah, I got inspired by Jordan Peterson to make order in my bedroom, and went on to desktop icons and now the inbox.

- Put your mind in order first.

Critical Theory of Archaeology

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."
