ABSTRACT
This handbook is both an intellectual and a political exercise. Situating our critique within contemporary social, political, and economic inequities, this volume locates the intersection of postcolonial critique and archaeology in an effort to reassess historic disparities of knowledge production and evaluation. Indeed, the politics embedded within the production of this volume lead us to address concerns with representation and inclusion, providing some critical self-reflection. Additionally, there are certain theoretical constructs that we wish to highlight as significant future research areas, to show how much of the work presented here lays the foundations for interventions benefiting an archaeology practiced within a contemporary transnational reality.
