People might be interested in the position taken by the AAA, concerning the
participation of anthropologists in military actvities in Iraq and Afghanistan
http://www.aaanet.org/blog/PR_110707.htm
I wonder whether we will ever see something similar in archaeology
Please also notice that the annual meeting of the AAA will be held next week in
Washington DC and will have as a theme:
DIFFERENCE, (IN)EQUALITY & JUSTICE
http://www.aaanet.org/mtgs/2007/prelim.htm
These three sessions may be of particular interest to archaeologists:
