Archaeological Review from Cambridge Department of Archaeology. 'The Others' — Deviants, Outcasts and Outsiders in Archaeology Volume 33.2 November 2018Theme editors: Leah Damman and Samantha LeggettThroughout human history, groups have met and interacted; this has a tendency to give rise to othering behaviours, ethnic discourses and a myriad of identity related issues. But what is the archaeological signature of 'the Others'? Archaeological literature is full of examples of 'deviant' practices, and modern constructs? This volume seeks submissions that discuss these ideas and explore concept of identity, otherness, deviancy, ethnicity and exclusion in archaeology.How we define nations and nth-oral groups, and what is designated as outside of or 'Other' is important to consider now more than ever; especially considering recent global political events. The increasing study of identity and archaeology in recent decades is predominantly concerned with labels and traditional discourses. How we define. protect and preserve the cultural heritage of non-Western and marginalized cultural groups should also be considered. The aim of this volume is to give a voice to the 'Others' of the past but also to be critical of our own theory and practice when it comes to socio.cultural definitions and studying identity in the past.Volume 33.2 of the Archaeological Review from Cambridge provides a forum to facilitate discussion surrounding the unusual treatment of selected persons in the past, understanding that this could provide and concepts of eschatological fate.
