Amidst this change it is too early to separate what will last from what is merely new. Hence, this review will not deal with the achievements of huntergatherer archaeology. By focusing on some of the unanswered questions instead, I hope to help the reader in evaluating the monograph that follows. .Band Society, with initial caps, is viewed in this foreword as the cultural system which is manifest in the cultural behavior of most hunter-gatherer populations (band societies). Details of Band Society operation can be found in any of the following recent synopses:

Collaborative projects and projects directed and conducted by indigenous peoples independently have become standard, community concerns are routinely addressed, and oral histories are commonly incorporated into research. This volume begins with a substantial section on theoretical and philosophical underpinnings, then presents key articles from around the globe in sections on Oceania, North America, Mesoamerica and South America, Africa, Asia, and Europe. Editorial introductions to each piece con-textualize them in the intersection of archaeology and indigenous studies. This major collection is an ideal text for courses in indigenous studies, archaeology, heritage management, and related fields.

Indigenous Archaeologies: Decolonizing Theory and Practice

With case studies from North America to Australia, and covering topics from archaeological ethics to the repatriation of human remains, this book documents the development of a new form of archaeology, one that is informed by Indigenous values and agendas. This Indigenous archaeology moves beyond research about Indigenous peoples to focus on research that is conducted with, and for, Indigenous peoples. This involves fundamental changes in archaeological theory and practice, as well as substantive changes in the power relations between archaeologists and Indigenous peoples.

The papers in this book demonstrate that the ethical practice of Indigenous
archaeologies has the potential to touch on general questions relating to
social justice and human rights, such as identity, political advocacy, social
advantage and economic equality. Many of the issues discussed within an
Indigenous context in this book can be applied to colonial situations
throughout the world: for example, the repatriation of the Parthenon (aka
Elgin) Marbles, the ethical practice of archaeology in less economically
developed countries and questions relating to community archaeology and local heritage. Led by developments in Indigenous archaeologies, the next step is an archaeology committed to social justice.
