3. Woman the hunter: The archaeological evidence.
- Author
-
Lacy, Sarah and Ocobock, Cara
- Abstract
The Paleo‐fantasy of a deep history to a sexual division of labor, often described as "Man the Hunter and Woman the Gatherer," continues to dominate the literature. We see it used as the default hypothesis in anatomical and physiological reconstructions of the past as well as studies of modern people evoking evolutionary explanations. However, the idea of a strict sexual labor division in the Paleolithic is an assumption with little supporting evidence, which reflects a failure to question how modern gender roles color our reconstructions of the past. Here we present examples to support women's roles as hunters in the past as well as challenge oft‐cited interpretations of the material culture. Such evidence includes stone tool function, diet, art, anatomy and paleopathology, and burials. By pulling together the current state of the archaeological evidence along with the modern human physiology presented in the accompanying paper (Ocobock and Lacy, this issue), we argue that not only are women well‐suited to endurance activities like hunting, but there is little evidence to support that they were not hunting in the Paleolithic. Going forward, paleoanthropology should embrace the idea that all sexes contributed equally to life in the past, including via hunting activities. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Sally and her sister Patty attended school together, both graduating with honors in 1962 from the Westtown School, a private Quaker academy established in 1799, then attending Wellesley College together, Sally majoring in anthropology within an integrated department of sociology and anthropology. After returning to Stockholm, Hannerz sent Sally his unpublished 1970 conference paper titled "Management of Danger", which became the inspiration for Sally's doctoral project in "Dover Square", her pseudonym for the public housing project where she conducted research between March 1975 and September 1976. With a rich body of ethnographic data at hand, Sally returned to the concept of vernacularization in an article (Merry and Stern 2005) and book (Merry 2006), but her understanding of the process shifted significantly. Neither a strident critique of international human rights nor a righteous argument on its behalf, human rights vernacularization provided an empirically grounded framework for understanding the unavoidable complexities in "translating international law into local justice" (Merry 2006; see also Goodale and Merry 2007).

REVISION (Writing process) ,JOB involvement - Abstract
Reviewer critiques are, in part, a preview of the sorts of responses the work will get when it's out in the world. REVIEWER #2 MAY NOT, IN FACT, BE YOUR WORST NIGHTMARE This is likely the first time the work has been read by people outside your trusted circle, and this means that new - and perhaps unanticipated - questions and critiques are bound to arise. As you listen to the reviews, take note of your own inner responses, particularly if they are defensive or dismissive, and ask yourself: What questions or comments from reviewers can I reframe as moments where my writing did not reach my audience?.

12. Reviewing review.
- Abstract
Critique, or "crit", comes from the world of fine arts and design and constitutes the dominant review model in many studio practice programs. The "best" type of review is usually considered to be double-anonymous review, where reviewers do not know the identity of the authors, and authors, similarly, do not know who has reviewed their work. Unlike double-anonymous review, crit takes the form of a conversation and may involve lively back-and-forth, and, of course, in crit nobody is anonymous. [Extracted from the article]

CULTURAL pluralism ,SOCIAL groups ,SOCIAL science research ,HUMAN behavior ,KINSHIP ,ETHNOLOGY ,DECEPTION - Abstract
In 1982, Wagner developed a lecture course (taught annually for the next 36 years) about the novels of Carlos Castaneda, which narrate an apprenticeship with a purported Yaqui Indian shaman in the southwest United States and Mexico.[2] The fact that Wagner himself had apprenticed with a shaman, Yapenugiai, in New Guinea took on new meaning in light of this comparison. Wagner's dissertation had just been published as a book, I The Curse of Souw i (Wagner, [29]), featuring a glowing foreword by Schneider and Wagner's own drawings and poetry. ACKNOWLEDGMENTS In addition to published sources, we have drawn on our recollections, Bashkow's notes of conversations with Roy, and Roy's presentation about his intellectual biography in Bashkow's graduate seminar on the anthropology of Papua New Guinea on September 30, 2015. In his field home at Mt. Karimui, Wagner carefully read this lengthy essay 11 times over (he said he counted them), and he took it as a model for his doctoral thesis, which described Daribi kinship and social structure in terms of Daribi cultural concepts.

These imperialist archaeologies, whether explicit or implicit, are now widely recognized as a primary context within which archaeology has been operationalized violently, directly or indirectly (Díaz-Andreu, [38]; González-Ruibal, [58]; Meskell, [108]). However, we do not advocate repairing archaeology for archaeology's sake. Archaeology remains embedded in imperialist endeavors through its extensive use of technology developed as part of the "military-industrial-academic complex" for espionage and war (Meskell, [[108]]; Pollock, [124]), through its continued exploitative labor practices (Mickel, [110]), through its enabling of colonialist development projects (Hutchings and La Salle, [77]), and through archaeologists' continued feelings of entitlement to undertake field research wherever they please in the name of stewardship (historically, see Langford, [84]). Keywords: archaeological ethics; archaeological praxis; disciplinary history; reckoning; violence EN archaeological ethics archaeological praxis disciplinary history reckoning violence 334 345 12 05/10/23 20230601 NES 230601 Violent encounters move quickly. While acknowledging our imperialist roots and tendencies is key, reckoning with violence in archaeology also means explicitly facing the fact that archaeology - wittingly or unwittingly - participates in the social violence that is the maintenance of whiteness as capital and white supremacy as power (see Beliso-De Jesús and Pierre, [14]).

By contrast, Vansina - Flemish, pragmatic, realist, and positivist-leaning - had studied social anthropology in London (Vansina 1994). The second (Vansina 2014) narrates Vansina's childhood in wartime Flanders, reckoning with his Flemish identity and ethics in the contexts of the war and Flemish-francophone divides. GRAPH Jan Vansina, a pioneering Africanist anthropologist and historian who wrote many books on precolonial kingdoms and the forest peoples of central Africa, died at his home in Madison, Wisconsin, in 2017. IRSAC's multidisciplinary approach to the human sciences (Vansina 1960; Vansina 1970) marked Vansina's historical imagination for decades, while his early scholarship aimed at "truths" articulated in a scientific tenor.

All public transportation was closed, ambulant military checkpoints were set up, and quarantine violators were forced into thirty-day quarantines at confinement centers. All nonessential businesses were closed.[9] The logistics of quarantine centers were put in the hands of the military.[10] With the first documented case of COVID-19 on March 18, a thirty-day military enforced quarantine was declared.[11] Only one person per household was allowed to travel outside the home, twice a week, and only for "essential business." "What can COVID do to me?" The social exclusion experienced by inhabitants of places such as El Cerro has allowed for early COVID-19 emergency measures to take the form of social triage (Biehl 2005).

46. A Black exit interview from anthropology.

EXIT interviewing ,ANTHROPOLOGY ,STUDENTS ,IMAGINATION ,EMOTIONS - Abstract
C-BLAAC provided the space for students to reflect on the animus that has emerged to create faculty positions in predominantly white departments, specifically for the study of Blackness in its multiple iterations. The formation of C-BLAAC was an act of student self-determination that combatted the student/faculty hierarchy that is at once possessive and dehumanizing, wherein I student i indexes the half-formed thinker who awaits the authoritative guidance of I faculty i . Irrespective of how much scholars revise syllabi and core curricula, there will be no liberation if the professional benchmarks and liberal logics that infuse our departments continue to grind marginalized students into polarized ends of racialized hyperbole: fast-rising meteors, on the one hand, and forgotten students who may or may not complete the PhD at all, on the other. Relations of power within academic departments - those that separate faculty from student or that separate a first-generation PhD from a student who has generationally been there before - are based on opacity.

This piece, a conversation on the changing ethical obligations of forensic anthropology in the twenty-first century, arose out of myriad societal and disciplinary upheavals, including: insufficient ethical policies and recent debates about advocacy, activism, and antiracism in the American Academy of Forensic Sciences (AAFS); ongoing discussions on the intersection of forensic anthropology with important social movements (e.g., Black Lives Matter [BLM], LGBTQ+, immigrant advocacies); and critical examinations of our skeletal curation practices and our colonialist past and present. For example, more senior-level anthropologists were not involved in this discussion, and all of us who participated share the perspective that forensic anthropology should expand ethical practices to address social issues - with advocacy, activism, and antiracism playing critical roles. We started with several virtual discussions and living documents that identified two overarching themes that, we contend, require urgent responses from our field: (1) defining modern-day ethics in forensic anthropology; and (2) identifying the role(s) of advocacy, activism, and antiracism in forensic anthropology. For our advocacy, activism, and antiracism theme (2), we posed and answered the following two questions: (a) In what ways are advocacy, activism, and antiracism I essential i to the ethical practice of forensic anthropology?.

At this moment, it is critical for the field of forensic anthropology and the AAFS to encourage antiracism and activism in order to actually foster integrity, ensure a socially responsible science, and recruit and retain those with diverse perspectives and lived experiences. Keywords: antiracism; diversity; inclusion; equity; scientific objectivity; forensic anthropology EN antiracism diversity inclusion equity scientific objectivity forensic anthropology 575 579 5 08/18/22 20220901 NES 220901 INTRODUCTION Recent and ongoing brutalities have highlighted the systemic injustices levied against Black, Indigenous, and people of color (BIPOC) individuals and stimulated discussions within academia and professional organizations about their role in fostering antiracism and diversity. This is particularly true for the field of forensic anthropology and the American Academy of Forensic Sciences (AAFS) - a white-led and white-majority professional flagship forensic science organization with eleven distinct disciplines, including anthropology - whose practitioners intersect with law enforcement and the criminal justice system.
