The Materiality and Heritage of Contemporary Forced Migration
In: Annual review of anthropology, Band 49, Heft 1, S. 175-191
ISSN: 1545-4290
Fleeing violence, poverty, abuse, war, and climatic change, tens of millions of people have fled their homes in the Global South seeking refuge in adjacent nations and in the Global North. This modern migration entails a material, sensual experience in time. The craft of archaeology has traditionally engaged with the material, the sensual, and the temporal. Archaeologists who study the materiality of modern undocumented migration embrace activist-engaged research that applies the craft of archaeology to the contemporary world. They study the materiality of migration to reveal and comprehend the lived experience of displaced persons. They seek to understand the barriers erected to that journey, the things migrants acquire and leave on the trail, migrant placemaking, their stranded lives, how they build new lives, what the migrants have left behind in their home countries, and the heritage of forced migration. They approach this work in critical solidarity with displaced peoples.

ARQUEOLOGÍA CRÍTICA Y PRAXIS
ResumenLa Arqueología se ha utilizado tradicionalmente para apoyar al poder en las arenas de lucha por la economía, las ideologías, las identidades y la política. La arqueología puede ser una forma de praxis para ayudar a crear un mundo más humano, una vez que los arqueólogos se convierten en más que "simples oradores". La gran mayoría de los arqueólogos practica su arte para obtener el conocimiento del mundo. Varios arqueólogos han tratado de criticar al mundo y el lugar de la arqueología en el mismo. Muy pocos han entrado completamente en la dialéctica de la praxis y han construido una arqueología de la acción política para transformar el mundo. Por lo tanto, debemos preguntarnos: ¿cómo es la Arqueología política? y ¿cómo la práctica de la arqueología encaja en una praxis de la arqueología?Palabras clave: praxis, arqueología crítica, dialéctica.AbstractIn the arenas of struggle over economics, ideologies, politics and identities, archaeology has traditionally been used to support the powers that be. Archaeology can be a form of praxis to help create a more humane world once archaeologist become more than "simple orators". The vast majority of archaeologists practice their craft to gain knowledge of the world. Various archaeologists have sought to critique the world and the place of archaeology in it. Fewer have fully entered into the dialectic of praxis and built an archaeology of political action to transform the world. Thus, we need to ask: how is archaeology political? and how does our practice of archaeology fit in a praxis of archaeology"?Key words: praxis, critical archaeology, dialectic.

The Mesoamerican Connection in the Southwest
The theory that Mesoamerican pochteca intruded into the Southwest between A.D. 1000 and 1400 and that these pochteca exercised political and economic control of the region during this period is critically considered. Close examination of the data and arguments advanced to support this theory reveal that it cannot be accepted. An alternate interpretation of Mesoamerican-Southwestern interaction is presented. This alternate view is not based on a simple concept of domination of one area by another but on consideration of shifting trade relations through time.
