This article considers anarchist archaeologies and how an approach to inequality shaped by anarchist values and modes of analysis can help us narrate more complex pasts and build more equal futures. The nature and impact of inequality are central concerns across humanities and social science disciplines. Archaeologists have long studied social differentiation, focusing primarily on the origins and cross-cultural articulation of inequality. An anarchist approach to the archaeology of inequality pushes us to eschew origins in favor of the mechanisms of and resistance to past inequality, informing struggles for a more equal present and future. It also forces us to examine the inequalities that persist in our discipline, restricting who can be an archaeologist and, consequently, contribute to archaeological knowledge production. We argue that a more equal archaeology is as necessary as a more complex view of past inequalities if we are to mobilize the past against structures of domination.

About

Archaeology or archeology[a] is the study of human activity through the recovery and analysis of material culture. The archaeological record consists of artifacts, architecture, biofacts or ecofacts, sites, and cultural landscapes.

Archaeology has various goals, which range from understanding culture history to reconstructing past lifeways to documenting and explaining changes in human societies through time.

The discipline involves surveying, excavation, and eventually analysis of data collected, to learn more about the past. In broad scope, archaeology relies on cross-disciplinary research. Read more…
