Archaeology, Religion & Meaning

Religion and Archaeology

This was the comment page for two readings that focused on Religion and Archaeology:

Lavenda and Schultz, “How Do We Make Meaning?” in the 3rd edition of Anthropology: What Does it Mean to be Human?
“Envisioning a Pragmatic Approach to the Archaeology of Religion” by Mark Aldenderfer in Archaeological Papers of the American Anthropological Association (2012)

These readings concluded part 2 of my Introduction to Anthropology 2016 course.

I revisited this material in 2021 for an Intro-to-Anthropology class on Meaning-Dependent Organisms.

Living Anthropologically means documenting history, interconnection, and power during a time of global transformation. We need to care for others as we attempt to build a world together.
