Anthropological archaeology has long been a process of categorization. The history of the subdiscipline could be rendered in terms of an ongoing project to create, critique, and then refashion the categories by which archaeologists understand and explain social and ecological processes. Despite ever-changing theoretical tides, many archaeologists have continued to adhere to a lingua franca that demarcates their object of study, whether "the past," "nature," complexity, material culture, or historical knowledge. In 2018, strong currents in archaeological scholarship have both challenged and washed out the boundaries of many of these epistemological mainstays. This was more than a postmodern exercise to question metanarratives of history or to destabilize supposed social universals. The recent scholarship develops innovative theoretical perspectives and sophisticated methodological tools to shed light on the varied human interactions, practices, and projects that were previously occluded by research too sharply focused on bounded categories such as periods, polities, adaptations, and meanings. Furthermore, archaeologists are now more than ever critically examining the colonial institutions that they perpetuate and seeking to establish new common ground with Indigenous communities. A decidedly archaeological perspective seems to be taking shape.This is a view that sees social life from the ground up in terms of complicated relationships between people, things, and other organisms that cannot be reduced to catchall categories.

La historia de la subdisciplina podría ser descrita en términos de un proyecto continuo de crear, criticar y luego rehacer las categorías a través de las cuales los arqueólogos entienden y explican los procesos sociales y ecológicos. A pesar de las mareas teóricas siempre cambiantes, muchos arqueólogos han continuado adhiriéndose a una lengua franca que demarca su objeto de estudio, ya sea "el pasado", "naturaleza", complejidad, cultura material o conocimiento histórico.En 2018, corrientes fuertes en la investigación arqueológica han tanto retado como difuminado los límites de muchos de los pilares epistemológicos. Esto fue más que un ejercicio posmoderno para cuestionar metanarrativas de la historia o para desestabilizar supuestos universales sociales. La reciente investigación desarrolla perspectivas teóricas innovadoras y herramientas metodológicas sofisticadas para arrojar luz sobre las variadas interacciones humanas, prácticas y proyectos que estuvieron previamente ocluidos por investigación excesivamente enfocada en categorías delimitadas tales como períodos, unidades políticas, adaptaciones y significados. Además, los arqueólogos ahora están más que nunca examinando críticamente las instituciones coloniales que perpetúan y buscando establecer un nuevo terreno común con las c...

“…Palaeodietary research in the Southern Trans-Ural area using stable isotope analysis shows a broad variability in Sintashta Culture diet. Although dominated by pastoralism with livestock herding and the processing of secondary products, Sintashta subsistence practices also included the gathering of wild plants, along with hunting and fishing (Hanks et al 2018). The latter is demonstrated by the presence of fish bones at the Kamennyj Ambar settlement, along with fish hooks and harpoons at other contemporaneous Sintashta Culture settlements (Stobbe et al 2013: 235-36).…”

“…The latter is demonstrated by the presence of fish bones at the Kamennyj Ambar settlement, along with fish hooks and harpoons at other contemporaneous Sintashta Culture settlements (Stobbe et al 2013: 235-36). Elevated δ 15 N levels suggest that aquatic resources, presumably from the Karagajly Ayat River, may have provided an occasional protein source for the inhabitants of Kamennyj Ambar who were subsequently buried in the KA-5 cemetery (Hanks et al 2018: 20, tabs 1-2). Hence, it is possible that the Freshwater Reservoir Effect could have affected radiocarbon dating (Olsen et al 2010), potentially resulting in a considerably older date for the human remains at KA-5.…”
