Personal ornaments are widely viewed as indicators of social identity and personhood. Ornaments are ubiquitous from the Late Pleistocene to the Holocene, but they are most often found as isolated objects within archaeological assemblages without direct evidence on how they were displayed. This article presents a detailed record of the ornaments found in direct association with an Early Mesolithic buried female infant discovered in 2017 at the site of Arma Veirana (Liguria, Italy). It uses microscopic, 3D, and positional analyses of the ornaments as well as a preliminary perforation experiment to document how they were perforated, used, and what led to their deposit as part of the infant's grave goods. This study provides important information on the use of beads in the Early Mesolithic, in general, as well as the relationship between beads and young subadults, in particular. The results of the study suggest that the beads were worn by members of the infant's community for a considerable period before they were sewn onto a sling, possibly used to keep the infant close to the parents while allowing their mobility, as seen in some modern forager groups. The baby was then likely buried in this sling to avoid reusing the beads that had failed to protect her or simply to create a lasting connection between the deceased infant and her community.

Magic and witchcraft, classic topics in the anthropology of religion, involve everyday things such as ashes, ceramics, minerals, shell, and projectile points. In many cultures, people attribute agency to such artifacts, as well as architecture, begging the question what is the archaeological record of such animate beings? To understand past human lifeways more fully, we need to explore the formation processes associated with the interaction between people and other non-human actors. For example, what might we learn from a burned pueblo whose rooms contain ash, projectile points, crystals, and other items? In this paper we argue that deposits in ritually closed pueblos of the North American Southwest, like many other Neolithic villages, likely contain purposely deposited objects in an effort to neutralize the anima left in these places and to prophylactically protect their former inhabitants from future witchcraft. We present Cottonwood Spring Pueblo, New Mexico, as a case study.
魔法和巫术是宗教人类学中的经典话题，涉及到灰烬、陶瓷、矿物、贝壳和抛射点等日常用品。在许多文化中，人们把能动性归因于这些人工制品和建筑，这就引出了这样一个问题:这些有生命的生物的考古记录是什么?为了更全面地理解过去人类的生活方式，我们需要探索与人类和其他非人类参与者之间相互作用相关的形成过程。例如，我们可以从一个燃烧的普韦布洛人那里学到什么，他的房间里有灰烬、抛射物、晶体和其他东西?在这篇论文中，我们认为，在北美西南部的仪式封闭的普韦布洛人的沉积物，像许多其他新石器时代的村庄一样，可能有故意存放的物品，以努力中和这些地方留下的动物，并预防性地保护他们的前居民免受未来的巫术。我们以新墨西哥州的Cottonwood Spring Pueblo为例进行研究。
