Overview

In Correlative Archaeology, Fumi Arakawa applies correlative thinking practices, which are derived from an East Asian view of the world that stresses connectivity, to archaeological interpretations. Arakawa, a Japanese scholar who was trained in Western archaeology, argues that a correlative paradigm can help archaeologists, as well as scholars and researchers from other disciplines, consider competing paradigms and integrate Native American voices and narratives into interpretations of prehistoric art and landscapes.

Reviews

Heartfelt. Draws on the wisdom of Eastern philosophy to give extensive voice to Native perspectives on Mimbres pottery and landscapes. --Michelle Hegmon, Arizona State University It's rare in archaeology for researchers to explicitly try to understand how their personal histories might impact their research. It's even more rare for them to use their introspection to set up a collaborative project at the intersection of three ontologies. This book does just that and is sure to be a foundational archaeological text. --Lewis Borck, New Mexico Highlands University
