Whether it is the binding of shattered bones or the creation of
herbal remedies, human agency is a central feature of the healing
process. Both archaeological and anthropological research has
contributed much to our understanding of the performative aspects
of medicine. The papers contained in this volume, based on a
session conducted at the 2010 Theoretical Archaeology Conference,
take a multi-disciplinary approach to the topic, addressing such
issues as the cultural conception of disease; the impact of gender
roles on healing strategies; the possibilities afforded by
syncretism; the relationship between material culture and the body;
and the role played by the active agency of the sick.
