摘要

在非洲后殖民时期，考古研究和田野调查涉及各种联系社区。因此，非殖民化考古遗产调查寻求与考古遗址的直系后裔选区进行更深层次的接触。在加纳阿克拉奥苏Christiansborg城堡的一个合作考古遗产项目中，这篇文章介绍了一种实验性的、正在进行的方法，我称之为“自动考古学”。这是一种分析方法，研究者、实践者和后代的角色和主体位置由同一个人担任，并突出自我。自我考古学挖掘了多个层面，即:知识生产的政治、史学传统、历史探究、殖民现实和后殖民遗产。城堡的自动考古学试图挑战目前占主导地位的西方考古遗产正统观念，涉及过去的研究，使用和管理，并在这样做时，为非殖民化实践提供了可能性。

Autoarchaeology at Christiansborg Castle (Ghana): Decolonizing knowledge, pedagogy, and practice

ABSTRACT In the African postcolony, archaeological research and fieldwork engage with a variety of communities of connection. Therefore, a decolonizing archaeological heritage inquiry seeks a deeper engagement with an archaeological site’s living direct descendant constituencies. Privileging Danish-Ga direct descendant communities in a collaborative archaeological heritage project at Christiansborg Castle in Osu, Accra, Ghana, this essay introduces the experimental, work-in-progress approach I term ‘autoarchaeology’. This is an analytical approach whereby the roles and subject positions of researcher, practitioner, and descendant are held by the same person, and foreground the Self. Autoarchaeology excavates multiple layers, namely: the politics of knowledge production, historiographical traditions, historical inquiry, colonial realities, and postcolonial legacies. Autoarchaeology at the castle attempts to challenge current dominant Western archaeological heritage orthodoxy concerning the study, use, and management of the past, and in so doing, offer possibilities for a decolonizing practice.

期刊介绍： Journal of Community Archaeology & Heritage is a new journal intended for participants, volunteers, practitioners, and academics involved in the many projects and practices broadly defined as ‘community archaeology’. This is intended to include the excavation, management, stewardship or presentation of archaeological and heritage resources that include major elements of community participation, collaboration, or outreach. The journal recognises the growing interest in voluntary activism in archaeological research and interpretation, and seeks to create a platform for discussion about the efficacy and importance of such work as well as a showcase for the dissemination of community archaeology projects (which might offer models of best practice for others). By inviting papers relating to theory and practice from across the world, the journal seeks to demonstrate both the diversity of community archaeology and its commonalities in process and associated theory. We seek contributions from members of the voluntary sector as well as those involved in archaeological practice and academia.
