“We think of old places as places that bear memory, that have accrued emotional attachment, and that intervene in the present as reminders of things that have happened before—and that could happen again. Through these qualities, old places sustain life&relations.” (Taylor&Sesma)
“This volume stresses the importance of systematically attending to the old things and surfaces that persist and wedge themselves into our surroundings and lives, that accompany and guide us, and whose meaningfulness we remake again and again”-Taylor&Sesma https://t.co/LEiwpShRK0
Our intro is half manifesto, half love letter to those who have shaped us & our work. We draw on genealogies of contemporary and historical archaeology, critical heritage studies, Black feminist and Indigenous archaeologies, critical and community-engaged research, and more.

As we inch closer to Election Day in AB & to what will surely be another spectacle of white indifference to any social form based on care & collective flourishing (regardless of outcome), I keep thinking about how Oil & Gas has become such a powerful organizing concept...
Just submitted a proposal for an edited volume with @evanptaylor! Its also been 11 days since defending my dissertation. So I guess my Doctor-hood is going pretty well so far!
Out soon, with new chapters-commentaties by Rodney Harrison, Elizabeth Kirtsoglou, and @YIP_EIO, plus new preface. All royalties will go to migrant support organisations.
There's still time to submit abstracts to our AAA 2018 session "Contemporary Archaeologies of Old Places." Check out the #CFP and get in touch with us TODAY! #archaeology#CulturalHeritage#AmAnth2018 https://t.co/CM7FdnQVS9
