Archaeological practice is currently shifting in response to
feminist, indigenous, activist, community-based, and anarchic
critiques of how archaeology is practiced and how science is used
to interpret the past lives of people. Inspired by the calls for a
different way of doing archaeology, this volume presents a case
here for a heart-centered archaeological practice. Heart-centered
practice emerged in care-based disciplines, such as nursing and
various forms of therapy, as a way to recognize the importance of
caring for those on whom we work, and as an avenue to explore how
our interactions with others impacts our own emotions and heart.
Archaeologists are disciplined to separate mind and heart, a
division which harkens back to the origins of western thought. The
dualism between the mental and the physical is fundamental to the
concept that humans can objectively study the world without being
immersed in it. Scientific approaches to understanding the world
assume there is an objective world to be studied and that humans
must remove themselves from that world in order to find the truth.
An archaeology of the heart rejects this dualism; rather, we see
mind, body, heart, and spirit as inextricable. An archaeology of
the heart provides a new space for thinking through an integrated,
responsible, and grounded archaeology, where there is care for the
living and the dead, acknowledges the need to build responsible
relationships with communities, and with the archaeological record,
and emphasize the role of rigor in how work and research is
conducted. The contributions bring together archaeological
practitioners from across the globe in different contexts to
explore how heart-centered practice can impact archaeological
theory, methodology, and research throughout the discipline.
