THE ARCHAEOLOGY OF ANXIETY GEBUNDEN

Recent efforts to engage more explicitly with the interpretation of emotions in archaeology
have sought new approaches and terminology to encourage archaeologists to take emotions
seriously. This is part of a growing awareness of the importance of senses-what we see  smell 
hear  and feel-in the constitution and reconstitution of past social and cultural lives. Yet
research on emotion in archaeology remains limited  despite the fact that such states underpin
many studies of socio-cultural transformation. The Archaeology of Anxiety draws together papers
that examine the local complexities of anxiety as well as the variable stimuli-class or
factional struggle  warfare  community construction and maintenance  personal turmoil  and
responsibilities to (and relationships with) the dead-that may generate emotional responses of
fear  anxiousness  worry  and concern.The goal of this timely volume is to present fresh
research that addresses the material dimension of rites and performances related to the
mitigation and negotiation of anxiety as well as the role of material culture and landscapes in
constituting and even creating periods or episodes of anxiety.
