Unsilencing the Archives: New Approaches to the History of Archaeological Labor in the Mandate Period Middle East
edited by Melissa S. Cradic, Helen Dixon, Felicity Cobbing, Aaron J. Brody, Samuel D. Pfister, and Jeffrey R. Zorn.
Over the last two decades, western academia has begun to explore and come to terms with its part in the recent colonial past and its lingering effects in the present. Scholars investigating the regions of Southwest Asia and North Africa are no exception, but this is still a relatively new and uncomfortable field and topic for this part of the world, and there are still relatively few studies that explicitly wrestle with it. In recognition of this deficiency, and in an effort to begin to ameliorate it, the Bad猫 Museum, the Palestine Exploration Fund and the Archaeological Research Facility (UC Berkeley) came together in 2021 to sponsor a virtual exhibit at the Bad猫 Museum (鈥淯nsilencing the Archives: The Laborers of the Tell en-Nas蹋beh Excavations (1926-1935)鈥�), created and curated by Dr. Melissa Cradic and Sam Pfister, along with a yearlong series of YouTube lectures on this topic (hosted at the Archaeological Research Facility, UC Berkeley鈥檚 YouTube channel). This volume, emerging from the lecture series, is devoted to exploring the agency of many unnamed or underappreciated agents of archaeology within this colonial past. It serves as a kind of festschrift in honor of the often poorly documented, yet important, role(s) played by Middle Easterners during the period of the British Mandate.
