  • The Southwest in the American Imagination: The Writings of Sylvester Baxter, 1881-1891, edited by Curtis M. Hinsley and David R. Wilcox. University of Arizona Press, Tucson, 1996
    Bulletin of the History of Archaeology, 1997
    Co-Authors: Richard B. Woodbury
    Abstract:

    Those interested only in the History of Archeology may be disappointed in this volume, as it is less about the Hemenway Expedition as seen through Baxter's articles on it, than it is about his articles on Cushing at Zuni, as well as in southern Arizona, on Baxter himself (a fascinating person), and on how Baxter and his contemporaries shaped a late 19th century popular image of the Southwest However,this book maybe more important for its portent than its content. It is the initial volume of a proposed multi-volume series, "Frank Hamilton Cushing and the Hemenway Southwestern Archaeological Expedition 1886-1889." The editors (actually, co-authors rather than only editors) have unearthed, to use an appropriate archaeological term a substantial amount of previously unexamined material relating to the Hemenway Expedition, com­pletely controverting the negative (and, quite wrong) response that Frederick W. Hodge gave to Emil W. Haury's inquiry about records of Cushing's excavations.

  • The Aurignacian Site of the Abri de la Souquette (commune de Sergeac, Dordogne): A History of Archeology
    Palethnologie, 2015
    Co-Authors: John F. O’hara, Randall White, Zenobie S. Garrett, Thomas Higham, A. Roussot
    Abstract:

    The Abri de la Souquette is little known today when compared with the neighboring sites of Abri Castanet and Abri Blanchard. A long History of investigation at the Abri de la Souquette has led not to a wider understanding of a site with significant Aurignacian deposits, but rather to scholarly obscurity as a site devoid of further research potential. In this paper, we attempt to lift some of this obscurity by chronicling the History of research at this site, and provide new radiocarbon dates demonstrating contemporaneity with the Castanet Aurignacian.

  • Disassembling Archeology, reassembling the modern world:
    History of science; an annual review of literature research and teaching, 2017
    Co-Authors: William Carruthers, Stéphane Van Damme
    Abstract:

    This article provides a substantive discussion of the relevance of the History of Archeology to the History of science. At the same time, the article introduces the papers contained in this special issue as exemplars of this relevance. To make its case, the article moves through various themes in the History of Archeology that overlap with key issues in the History of science. The article discusses the role and tension of regimes of science in antiquarian and archeological practices, and also considers issues of scale and place, particularly in relation to the field. Additionally, the piece attends to issues of professionalization and the constitution of an archeological public, at the same time as discussing issues of empire, colonialism, and the circulation of knowledge. Meanwhile, enriching discussions within and beyond the History of science, the article discusses the History of Archeology and its relationship with museums, collecting, and material culture and materiality. Finally, the piece discusses the relationship of the History of Archeology with wider discussions about scientific ethics. In conclusion, the article questions whether we should speak of 'the History of Archeology' at all.
