Abstract

Capitalism has been the focus of a great deal of social thinking and activity since the 18th-century. Understanding capitalism as both an economic and a cultural phenomenon has shed light on its inner workings as a system as well as guided strong criticisms of its effects on social reproduction, equality, and the sense of human nature, spirit, and subjectivity. Its significance has recently also been taken up as a focus for archaeological investigation. Archaeologies of colonialism, American and other modern state formations, urban growth, industrialization, and consumption have contributed important insights into the structures and experiences of capitalism. Critical thinking within the discipline has also posed the question of whether there can be an archaeology outside of capitalism and what role capitalism plays in defining the role of CRM or public archaeology as an industry. This course examines the archaeological approach to capitalism in theory and practice. The goal of the course is to both understand and historicize capitalism by examining how everyday lives were abruptly transformed by its emergence and elaboration.

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.
