Beschreibung
Archaeological practice is undergoing a period of radical reassessment in response to calls by Indigenous peoples for control over their cultural and intellectual property. This is an exciting period when the shape of Indigenous archaeology is changing through the incorporation of Indigenous methodologies and theoretical positionings. Moreover, driven by Indigenous priorities, Indigenous archaeology is becoming increasingly inter-disciplinary and engaging beyond the usual boundaries of the discipline. The Oxford Handbook of Global Indigenous Archaeologies. walks readers through contemporary issues, placing them within their historical, legislative, and global contexts. It introduces both students and established researchers to the various viewpoints taken on major debates, providing them with the intellectual tools to develop their own positions on these important issues. Thus, the Handbook. examines not only aspects of the Indigenous past, but also how this knowledge is used in the present. The discussion of examples of key debates from North, South and Central America; Australia and the Pacific; Asia; and Africa allows readers to position these debates within an international arena, drawing out both regional diversities and cross-cultural similarities. The analysis of these debates in tandem makes it possible to identify core assumptions and cross-cultural challenges, making the Handbook. an essential resource for anyone working in this domain.
