“…Archaeological investigations at Paradise, for example, have allowed the identification and analysis of a number of aspects of working class life. This work has provided deeper knowledge about the constructions of family identity (Quirk 2007(Quirk , 2008, the mundane aspects of the lives of the children (Prangnell and Quirk 2009), the particular approaches of Methodists to life in a mining community (Prangnell and Quirk in press) and the activities of mine owners (Quirk 2007). For Mount Shamrock, the archaeologically derived understandings of the landscape (Mate 2009(Mate , 2010 are providing insights into the way people created and constructed meaning in their lives.…”

The Upper Burnett district of southeast Queensland, Australia is a landscape of working class resilience in the face of natural and institutional oppression. The Upper Burnett was the site of numerous small goldmining towns throughout the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. Physically, most of these towns now survive only as archaeological remnants, yet both the tangible heritage elements and the intangible forms of labour heritage, such as stories in the landscape and of movement between places, contribute to the shared and continued attachment of the Burnett community to its mining history. Historical archaeological, sociological and landscape studies, including long-term projects working with descendents of the mining families, have provided detailed insight into the palimpsest of meanings applied to the social landscape of the working class inhabitants. Oral history, documentary and archaeological research have been conducted on the townships of Paradise, Mount Shamrock, Monal and Cania. The cultural landscape of these towns can be seen as a complex heritage of working class pastimes, networks of labour through kin and fictive kin relationships, strategic movement across the region and the interaction between communities. Although the local museums tend to memorialise the physical heritage of the goldmining through collecting and displaying the impressive material culture (such as stampers, berdan pans, mine wheels, etc.), it is the stories, meanings, diaries, and the continued attachments to these places today that play the larger role in the remembering of the working class past.

“…Ao partir de artefatos que ganham sentido no universo das crianças, como as rodinhas fabricadas a partir de solas de sandálias de borracha, é possível dialogar com a ausência de estudos sobre crianças na antropologia (COHN, 2005;TASSINARI, 2009;PIRES, 2008PIRES, , 2010NUNES;CARVALHO, 2007) e na arqueologia PRANGNELL;QUIRK, 2009;LILLEHAMMER;. Muitas das pesquisas que versam sobre as crianças nas sociedades camponesas tendem a vê-las como apêndices das relações familiares ou atadas às práticas femininas no âmbito de estruturas de parentesco (WOORTMANN, 1995).…”

RESUMOA região Nordeste do Brasil tem sido vista, ao menos desde finais do século XIX, ora como zona pobre, com base em visões deterministas sustentadas por abordagens simplistas nas quais a desertificação, a seca, a fome e a pobreza são encontradas invariavelmente juntas, ora como região diaspórica, argumentação pautada no fato de incidir, em parte, sob ambiente com características áridas marcado por episódios de seca. Estas tratativas deram forma a um rígido e poderoso corpo discursivo no qual o chamado "sertão" é apresentado como homogêneo, materialmente estático, isolado e degradado. Esta tese busca construir uma narrativa crítica à idéia de estaticidade, pobreza e isolamento dos camponeses do sertão, a partir da análise da materialidade das casas de barro localizadas nos estados de Pernambuco, Piauí e Ceará. Foco é dado às características materiais cotidianas das populações sertanejas ao longo do século XX, ressaltando aspectos relacionados ao consumo, a mobilidade e a paisagem recorrendo a ferramentas da arqueologia do passado contemporâneo, da antropologia rural e da ecologia histórica para mostrar como mudar e continuar o mesmo pode inverter lógicas capitalistas e ter papel fundamental no mundo globalizado.
