Abstract

Bringing together a wealth of research in social and cultural anthropology, philosophy and related fields, this is the first book to address the contribution that an understanding of personhood can make to our interpretations of the past Applying an anthropological approach to detailed case studies from European prehistoric archaeology, the book explores the connection between people, animals, objects, their societies and environments and investigates the relationship that jointly produces bodies, persons, communities and artefacts. The Archaeology of Personhood examines the characteristics that define a person as a category of being, highlights how definitions of personhood are culturally variable and explores how that variation is connected to human uses of material culture.

“Instead of borrowing Eurocentric ideas of personhood (Fowler, 2004; Lukes, 1973; Riches, 2000; Strathern, 1992), a culturally informed and socially mediated sense of selfhood or person-hood is regarded as an important paradigm that serves as the theoretical premise of the present article.”

“As he writes: “Persons are constituted, de-constituted, maintained and altered in social practices through life and after death,” suggesting that personhood is a construct beyond the human and, by extension, that it could be applied to other forms as well (Fowler 2004, 4).”

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
