Bibliography: pages 167-177. ; Accompanied by: Faizal's journey : discovering the past through objects. ; The topic of this dissertation developed out of the 1980s era of resistance to Apartheid. At that time, mass-campaigns produced the concept of People's Education, which challenged established State-structures. People's Education was based on participatory democracy and drew on communities' knowledge rather than state-sanctioned knowledge. The concept of People's Archaeology is a product of that time-period. It focuses on involving communities in the practice of archaeology, beyond the stage of consultation. Within the forthcoming election process, Black communities are to be empowered politically and this empowerment has, in other countries seen an accompanying growth in concerns about identity, cultural property and ownership. I argue that identity politics will be crucial in the future South African society and that archaeology will play an important role in this debate. The discipline faces transformation in the coming decade and education will be critical in this change. In this dissertation I contend that past attempts at popular education in archaeology have had very limited success. Archaeology still remains a discipline unknown to the majority of South Africans. This dissertation explores the reasons for the limited success of these attempts by critically examining the structure of the discipline in South Africa, and the perception that it creates to the public. It also goes further by exploring an alternative to these efforts at popular education through the use of principles and methods developed in People's Education. This project takes the debate about People's Archaeology beyond theory and attempts to implement some of the ideas through two projects, one dealing with an excavation, the other focusing on the production of a popular resource. I explore the pitfalls and benefits of these projects and make recommendations concerning the future of the discipline.

"Through time people have lived with darkness. Archaeology shows us that over the whole human journey people have sought out dark places, for burials, for votive deposition and sometimes for retreat or religious ritual away from the wider community. Thirteen papers explore the Palaeolithic use of deep caves in Europe and the orientation of mortuary monuments in the Neolithic and Bronze Age. They examine how the senses are affected in caves and monuments that were used for ritual activities, from Bronze Age miners in Wales working in dangerous subterranean settings, to initiands in Italian caves, to a modern caver's experience of spending time in the one of the world's deepest caves in Russia. We see how darkness was and is viewed at northern latitudes where parts of the year are spent in eternal night, and in Easter Island where darkness provided communal refuge from the pervasive sun. We know that spending extended periods in darkness and silence can affect one physically, emotionally and spiritually. How did interactions between people and darkness affect individuals in the past and how were regarded by their communities? And how did this interaction transform places in the landscape? As the ever-increasing electrification of the planet steadily minimises the amount of darkness in our lives, curiously, darkness is coming more into focus. This first collection of papers on the subject begins a conversation about the role of darkness in human experience through time"--From publisher's website

This article proposes a mode of analysis drawing from historical institutionalism and American political development but that is generated more organically from within the study of law. This approach, legal archaeology, focuses on the production of legal discourse while attending to the institutional boundaries and conditions around this production. Legal archaeology is particularly useful for understanding the role of law in constructing subordinated identities. Illuminating legal struggles over the boundaries of subordinated identities facilitates consideration of how subordination is institutionalized, though archaeology maintains legal institutions at the center of the analysis. The article concludes with examples of the analysis. Adapted from the source document.

This article explores the relationship between the archaeological remains of clay ovens excavated in the Iron Age level at Tel Hadar, Israel & modern socio-cultural behaviour linked to clay ovens used for bread baking. After a short introduction on one of the excavated ovens & the precise report of one experimentation with local people, most of the text describes my ethno-archaeological observations from the past five years in Syria. Through a study that combines archaeology, ethno-archaeology & experimental archaeology I documented techniques of construction, differentiated various types of ovens & recorded culinary & social function. Based on this research a worksheet has been developed maximize the potential for information retrieved during the excavation of clay ovens. 1 Table, 21 Figures, 5 References.
