Abstract For the last twenty years or so, archaeologists of Roman Britain, among other provinces, have been seeking ways moving beyond concept ‘Romanisation’ as a framework for thinking about imperialism. Many ideas proposed drawn from two related bodies thought which emerged understanding contemporary world: postcolonialism and globalisation theory. While achieving significant success in transforming interpretations world, applications these approaches present some fresh problems...

Posthumanism is a growing field of interdisciplinary study that has emerged, principally in the last 20 years, as broad church which seeks to reconceptualize human beings’ relationships with world. At its heart, destabilize and question category ‘human’, it sees having previously been treated transcendent ahistorical. In place, figure posthuman aims capture complex situated nature our species’ existence, outside traditional dichotomies like culture nature, mind body, person environment, so...
Changes in the material culture of late Roman army Britain mean that it is often difficult to identify archaeologically. Some these changes have past been taken as symptoms decline, without attempt at further explanation.

Recent debates have challenged the very foundation of political ecology. One important critique, stemming from work Vayda and his associates, promotes a problem-specific, ecological, positivistic approach to analysis causes environmental change. Their focus on "event," however, is seemingly at odds with earlier concerns process. Utilizing case study Bedouin people in Saudi Arabia, I argue that key ecological events upon which this research focuses, Kuwaiti oil fires ongoing process...

Is the ‘material’ or ‘ontological’ turn a major new paradigm in archaeological theory? Or is it another iteration of cycle piecemeal innovation which has created very fragmented discipline? While there are insights from recent scholarship this vein certainly important, paper will err toward latter view. Even though ‘symmetrical’ and other object-agency approaches still growing mainstream debate, much source literature upon they draw been around for several decades, accumulated fair amount...

We are upgrading and refurbishing the first-generation adaptive-secondary mirror (ASM)-based AO system on 6.5-m MMT in Arizona, an NSF MSIP-funded program that will create a unique facility specialized for exoplanet characterization. This update includes third-generation ASM with embedded electronics low power consumption, two pyramid wavefront sensors (optical near-IR), upgraded ARIES science camera high-resolution spectroscopy (HRS) from 1-5 μm MMT-POL sensitive polarization mapping....
