The evolutionary relationships among extinct African hominin taxa are highly debated and largely unresolved, due in part to a lack of molecular data. Even within taxa, it is not always clear, based on morphology alone, whether ranges of variation are due to sexual dimorphism versus potentially undescribed taxonomic diversity. ForParanthropus robustus, a Pleistocene hominin found only in South Africa, both phylogenetic relationships to other taxa1,2and the nature of intraspecific variation3-6are still disputed. Here we report the mass spectrometric (MS) sequencing of enamel proteomes from four ca. 2 million year (Ma) old dental specimens attributed morphologically toP. robustus, from the site of Swartkrans. The identification of AMELY-specific peptides and semi-quantitative MS data analysis enabled us to determine the biological sex of all the specimens. Our combined molecular and morphometric data also provide compelling evidence of a significant degree of variation within southern AfricanParanthropus, as previously suggested based on morphology alone6. Finally, the molecular data also confirm the taxonomic placement ofParanthropuswithin the hominin clade. This study demonstrates the feasibility of recovering informative Early Pleistocene hominin enamel proteins from Africa. Crucially, it also shows how the analysis of these proteins can contribute to understanding whether hominin morphological variation is due to sexual dimorphism or to taxonomic differences. We anticipate that this approach can be widely applied to geologically-comparable sites within South Africa, and possibly more broadly across the continent.

“…Eleanor Casella (2000) and Sherene Baugher (2010) both examine resistance to authority in institutional reform contexts; James Delle (1998) looks at power relationships and resistance in the context of Jamaican coffee plantations; and Hadley Kruczek-Aaron (2008) examines resistance exerted within a single household. In institutional reform contexts, resistance to authority includes breaking the rulesfor example, hoarding contraband items (Casella 2000) or drinking where it is not permitted (Baugher 2010). This type of resistance is often clandestine, to avoid the consequences of being caught, and evidence is often hidden.…”

“…At the nineteenth -century charitable Sailor's Snug Harbor, diverse dynamics mediated by class and gender played out across the landscape. Areas of the Sailor's Snug Harbor compound were segregated by gender, with women excluded from many areas and by class, with different placement and sizes of houses across the grounds and varying access to outdoor spaces (Baugher 2010). A similarly complex system of gender and class dynamics was documented at an Australian women's prison, where the social standing of both staff and inmates within the hierarchy was reflected both in the size and location of their residence.…”

“…Other groups of people have also been isolated from their communities as a means of protecting society from their perceived dangerous and unpredictable natures and of reforming them. Archaeological investigations of this phenomenon have included the mentally ill (Longhurst, this volume; Spencer-Wood and Baugher 2001); the poor (Thomas, this volume;Baugher 2001;Huey 2001; Piddock 2001;Spencer-Wood 2001); criminals(Bush 2000;Casella 1999Casella , 2000; and other institutions of confinement(Baugher 2010;Beisaw and Gibb 2009;Casella 2007;De Cunzo 2006; Myers and Moshenska 2011;Mytum and Carr 2013).…”

The papers in this issue come out of the Archaeology of Reform/Archaeology as Reform session at the 2013 meeting of the Society for Historical Archaeology in Leicester, England. Focusing on many different institutions and programs, this volume was brought together to explore the idea of social reform as it manifests in different ways in different places. At its very basic level, reform is about changechange that carries with it the implication of an improvement ranging from the personal to the social and institutional. As a noun, reform is the Bamendment of what is defective, vicious, corrupt, or depraved;^as a verb, reform is to Bput into a new and improved form or condition; to restore to a former good state, or bring from bad to good; to change from worse to better; to amend; to correct(Webster and Porter 1913). Unlike revolution, which has connotations of rapid, wholesale change, reform is generally understood to be a gradual process that improves, rather than overthrows, the status quo. While the papers in this volume touch on all of these, the emphasis is on social and institutional reform affecting categories of people, rather than specific individuals. Although each paper examines a different geographic location, they share several common threads: the goals and ideologies of reform; the reformers and the reformed; material implementations of reform; and the unobtainable ideal. In addition to discussing historical reform using archaeological methods, authors were also asked to think about how archaeology itself can be reformative (archaeology as reform).
