Contemporary Garbage in Archaeological Thought in the forum ANTH 3420 Urban Archaeology OER https://commons.gc.cuny.edu/?p=80888 Tue, 12 Nov 2019 14:31:27 -0500 Jessica Hester’s article would not open for me. It kept popping up “youve gone off the map”. However the other two articles I could open and found them to be full of useful information.

The article by Rathje was about how people don’t know what they use. Rather described the garbage project and how when studying people’s waste after asking them…[Read more]

However, I could tell this place still held importance to the LGBT community.  Both the inn and the park across the street were decorated with rainbow flags and people were gathered in the park. As I walked in and out of the in I saw g…[Read more]

Each article talked about a different aspect of sexuality however the two articles that were linked most closely were the Voss and Rubin articles.

Voss’ article was about comparing colonial San Francisco, when the Spanish arrived, and the culturally colonial market street…[Read more]

The data used in the Wall article seems a bit lacking. The author even mentions that two sites aren’t enough to make a good case for how women socialize in different classes. I don’t think merely mentioning that there isn’t enough data makes it ok to continue on…[Read more]

While these various methods give us a good idea on what society is like they do have their setbacks and flaws.  For one, it would be very difficult to count the actions of e…[Read more]

Through the article Foucault describes how the building is used and the reason for its use. He also gives reasons for why it works. According to Foucault the Panopticon is a “marvelous machine” that “produces homogeneous effects of power. Foucault’s image of the Panopticon is that of…[Read more]

In their article they give specific information about Lorain, Ohio in 1999. In the case of their article the 20 year gap between when it was written and now serves as a unique perspective on how Puerto Ricans…[Read more]

Smith’s view is that archaeologists can use the connections they find between the codependency between urban…[Read more]
