First, archaeologists are concerned that the diversity of inquiry into human culture might be masked by a few dominant voices. Training, trans-national knowledge encounters, colonial legacies, the increasingly public face of the social sciences and the participation of non-social scientists in this knowledge process are all issues that we hope will be constructively debated by sessions in this theme. The theme is intended to be a forum for discussion of new research results, but we also expect that a comparative approach across the southern hemisphere will lead to new ideas relevant to scholars working in other areas of the world. The theme\u2019s aims are thus:<\/p>\n<p>\u2022 To examine the dynamics of how archaeological knowledge is exchanged. For example, must Africanists communicate with each other via Cambridge University Press?<br \/>\n\u2022 To exchange information and the nature of knowledge on the archaeology of the southern hemisphere.<br \/>\n\u2022 To blend archaeological and \u2018indigenous voice\u2019 concerns in post-colonial contexts.<\/p>\n<h2>Sessions<\/h2>\n<h3>Stone Arrangements In The Southern Hemisphere<\/h3>\n<p>Organized By<br \/>\nFiona Hook (Australia) and Bruce Veitch (Australia)<\/p>\n<p>Session Details<br \/>\nStone arrangements have remained a relatively understudied archaeological feature in the Southern Hemisphere. They occur in a very wide range of social settings and time periods. Until recently the literature on the archaeology of stone arrangements in this region has rarely gone beyond the descriptive. New studies of stone arrangements in the Southern Hemisphere include attempts to understand these features in terms of cultural landscapes defined in the broadest sense, comparisons with regional rock art studies, and the use of chronometric techniques such as optically stimulated luminescence to date their construction. This session is designed to explore the function and meanings of stone arrangements in the past and the present in the South and discuss how such studies differ from and inform those conducted in the North.<\/p>\n<p>Presentations<br \/>\nCreated, Transported, Remembered And Forgotten: Pacific Perspectives On Cultural Landscapes<br \/>\nRobin Torrence and Jim Specht (Australian Museum, Sydney, Australia) Dating of the Gurdadaguji Stone Arrangements in the Pilbara Region of Western Australia<br \/>\nBruce Veitch and Fiona Hook (Archae-aus Pty Ltd, Perth, Australia)<br \/>\nStone Arrangements In The Australian Blue Mountains<br \/>\nMatthew Kelleher (Consultant, Sydney, Australia) Stone Arrangements near Tibooburra, New South Wales<br \/>\nJenny Tulloch (Consultant, Sydney, Australia)<br \/>\nDesert-kites Of The Hemma Plateau (Hassake, Syria)<br \/>\nPaul-Louis van Berg (Universit\u00e9 Libre de Bruxelles, Facult\u00e9 de Philosophie et Lettres, Avenue F.

This is not always the case in archaeology; more akin to frame their studies under subsistence and\/or technology and\/or culture oriented categories (farmers, husbandry, agriculture, Neolithic\/Formative, etc.). Even on those terms, it is frequently the case that productive activities of major contribution -other than agriculture- become regularly obscured. This session intends to gather and discuss diverse perspectives on the archaeology of peasants, from as diverse historical, social, geographical and cultural contexts as possible. Past peasant societies often resist the application of a whole set of concepts of supposedly universal validity, including domestication, complexity, intensification, etc. Is this lack a result of the application of northern anthropological\/archaeological theories and methodologies? If not, why the reduction to those perspectives in southern archaeologies? Focusing on the small scale rural social groups that usually retain \u2013at least partially- the control of their own reproduction within the group unit, can an exploration of such reluctant cases help to think alternative ideas? For example, can a perspective from the peasants themselves, as an alternative to a perspective on peasants from the state, be expanded? We get here through the present limitations of our constructions about the past, and we conjecture if the social and political resonances of the category &#8216;peasants&#8217; in present third world countries are in some ways obscuring the study of peasants in pre-colonial contexts. Are there any political implications of such a theoretical re-framing for third-world archaeologies? Are there any such implications for peasants, as poor people in non industrial settings of poor countries? From third world&#8217;s archeological perspectives -that reserves only a part of the decisions for their academic production, reproduction and change- it becomes relevant to ask if the ongoing northern debate is useful for an understanding of past peasants. Is there any kind of relative archaeological &#8216;invisibility&#8217; of peasants or is it in some ways related to the relative &#8216;invisibility&#8217; of southern archaeologies in the theoretical and methodological debates? Or is it connected to the relative poverty of both peasants and third world conditions of academic knowledge of their past? In synthesis, not only the discussion on peasant archaeologies is welcome, but also how do the diverse cultural and social perceptions of society, time, nature, power and craft, permeate into theoretical and methodological categories used in the archaeology of peasants. Possible and partially explored dimensions of the problem are, for example: The role of gathering and hunting activities in peasants economies and its relation with herding, seeding and exchanging performances. Also, familiar-level interaction networks; relationships to land, water, and other resources. Modes of articulation, domination, resistance, struggle, or simple low profile surviving strategies, between peasants and broader social structures (chiefdoms, states, global economies). Other issues to be explored are everyday livelihoods and particular practices that enhance the reproduction of the group or, on the contrary, its failure; accepted and rejected, representations of peasant groups as selves or as others; relationships between peasants and issues of cultural heritage, and the roles of peasants in social and political changes. Also, ethnographically and document-based studies on peasants are welcome, as theoretical, methodological and historical perspectives of the archaeology of peasants.<br \/>\nPresentations<br \/>\nAncient Peasant Labor In The Andes<br \/>\nAlejandra Korstanje (Instituto de Arqueolog\u00eda y Museo, Universidad Nacional de Tucum\u00e1n, Argentina) Conectando Espacios Construidos Y Utilizados En Sociedades Campesinas, A Partir De La Antigua Tecnologia Litica (En Amaicha Del Valle, Argentina)<br \/>\nCarolina Somonte (Instituto de Arqueolog\u00eda y Museo,Universidad Nacional de Tucum\u00e1n, Argentina)<br \/>\nThe Denial Of Peasant Agency<br \/>\nAlejandro F.

These are numbered\/denoted differently to avoid confusion.<\/p>\n<p>The central theme to be investigated is whether models of agricultural development and diffusion based on Eurasian and MesoAmerican experiences are universally relevant. Multiple lines of evidence of early and potentially indigenous agriculture are being clarified in areas often considered to be peripheral, including parts of South and Central America, SubSaharan Africa, Indo-Malaysia, Melanesia and other areas. In this session, these lines of evidence are presented and compared against pervasive models of \u201cagricultural origins\u201d in order to widen existing discourses. A wide range of approaches to the definition of agriculture will be considered including alternative conceptions based on various spatial and temporal contexts.<\/p>\n<p>Core Themes<br \/>\n\u2022 Creation of historically contingent and contextual conceptions of agriculture.<br \/>\n\u2022 Challenging existing (largely inherited Eurasian) models of agricultural \u2018origins\u2019.<br \/>\n\u2022 What is the value of using domestication as a measure of agricultural societies?<br \/>\n\u2022 Which agricultural signatures are most relevant?<br \/>\n\u2022 Discussing emerging lines of evidence from the tropics and Southern Hemisphere: archaeobotanical remains of former crop plants, palaeoecological records of clearance, signatures of an agricultural \u2018packages\u2019, archaeological evidence of former field systems and cultivated plots.<\/p>\n<p>Mini-session A: Theorising the origins of agriculture.
