摘要
在许多情况下,物质文化充当了生者和死者之间的中介(Hallam and Hockey 2001)。生者使用的物品可以在骨学上留下印记,可以跟随个人进入埋葬环境,或者可以成为个人的一部分。这些行动都留下了文化交流的考古证据。本文通过对骨学数据、人工制品分析和历史文献之间多层次关系的综合分析,探讨人工制品与骨学之间的辩证关系。密尔沃基县贫困农场公墓的三个例子展示了19世纪末和20世纪初密尔沃基县机构、考古学家、穷人和无人认领的人之间的物化关系。这些包括:管道干槽和管道的恢复,假牙的当代分类,以及牙科工作(桥,种植体等)作为机构关系的标志(Hodder 2012)。在这些关系中,与生活经验并列的制度事实的表现可以被揭示(Renfrew 2004: 26)。
Like Pulling Teeth: Relationships Between Material Culture and Osteology at the Milwaukee County Poor Farm Cemetery, Wauwatosa, Wisconsin, USA
In many cases, material culture acts as a mediator between the living and the dead (Hallam and Hockey 2001). Items used by the living can leave their mark osteologically, can follow an individual into a burial context, or can become part of an individual. Each of these actions leaves archaeological evidence of cultural communication. This paper examines the dialectical relationships between artifacts and osteology through an integrative analysis of the multilayered relationships between osteological data, artifact analysis, and historic documents. Three examples from the Milwaukee County Poor Farm Cemetery demonstrate the materialized relationships between institutions, archaeologists, and the poor and unclaimed of Milwaukee County in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. These include: pipe stem grooves and the recovery of pipes, the contemporary categorization of dentures, and dental work (bridges, implants, etc.) as signifiers of institutional relationships (Hodder 2012). Within these relationships, the manifestation of institutional facts juxtaposed with lived experience can be revealed (Renfrew 2004: 26).
期刊介绍:
Archaeologies: Journal of the World Archaeological Congress offers a venue for debates and topical issues, through peer-reviewed articles, reports and reviews. It emphasizes contributions that seek to recenter (or decenter) archaeology, and that challenge local and global power geometries.
Areas of interest include ethics and archaeology; public archaeology; legacies of colonialism and nationalism within the discipline; the interplay of local and global archaeological traditions; theory and archaeology; the discipline’s involvement in projects of memory, identity, and restitution; and rights and ethics relating to cultural property, issues of acquisition, custodianship, conservation, and display.
Recognizing the importance of non-Western epistemologies and intellectual traditions, the journal publishes some material in nonstandard format, including dialogues; annotated photographic essays; transcripts of public events; and statements from elders, custodians, descent groups and individuals.
