Abstract

knowing. He provides a model to decolonize the understanding of the site using a Shonacentric perspective and terminology. A shortcoming of the work is that there are very few voices of ordinary local people. Chirikure is Shona and a scholar, and he mainly cites Shona philosophers, ethnographers, archaeologists, local chiefs, and historians. This is valuable information but from experts. What do ordinary people want in terms of a usable past? What are their oral histories and remembrances? Since this review was requested by the journal Ethnoarchaeology, it should bemade clear that Chirikure is critical of ethnoarchaeology (280). This is curious because in the introduction he claims to provide an unrivaled Afro-centered interpretation framework using the approach of combining illustrative and comparative analogies sensu the works of Wylie (1985) and Stahl (1993). Their approach is a method that compares and evaluates the relevance of the ethnographic source to interpret the material evidence of the archaeological subject, and to discern change and continuity in practices over time. In this approach, Wylie and Stahl recognize the role of ethnoarchaeology in rigorously investigating source sides of analogies, and there is no reason why this could not be useful in decolonizing Africa’s past.
中美洲的水生适应:民族考古学视角下的生存活动
知道。他提供了一个模型,以非殖民化的视角和术语来理解这个遗址。这项工作的一个缺点是当地普通民众的声音很少。Chirikure是肖纳人,也是一位学者,他主要引用了肖纳哲学家、民族志学家、考古学家、当地酋长和历史学家的话。这是有价值的信息,但来自专家。普通人想要什么有用的过去?他们的口述历史和记忆是什么?既然这篇评论是应《民族考古学》杂志的要求进行的,那么应该明确的是,Chirikure对民族考古学持批评态度(280)。这是很奇怪的,因为在引言中,他声称将使用Wylie(1985)和Stahl(1993)的作品中的说明性类比和比较类比相结合的方法,提供一个无与伦比的以非洲为中心的解释框架。他们的方法是比较和评估民族志来源的相关性,以解释考古主题的物质证据,并辨别实践中的变化和连续性。在这种方法中,威利和斯塔尔认识到民族考古学在严格调查类比的来源方面的作用,并且没有理由认为这在非洲过去的去殖民化中是没有用的。

期刊介绍: Ethnoarchaeology, a cross-cultural peer-reviewed journal, focuses on the present position, impact of, and future prospects of ethnoarchaeological and experimental studies approaches to anthropological research. The primary goal of this journal is to provide practitioners with an intellectual platform to showcase and appraise current research and theoretical and methodological directions for the 21st century. Although there has been an exponential increase in ethnoarchaeological and experimental research in the past thirty years, there is little that unifies or defines our subdiscipline. Ethnoarchaeology addresses this need, exploring what distinguishes ethnoarchaeological and experimental approaches, what methods connect practitioners, and what unique suite of research attributes we contribute to the better understanding of the human condition. In addition to research articles, the journal publishes book and other media reviews, periodic theme issues, and position statements by noted scholars.
