Panel Proposal
Panel title: Using Archaeological Data to Answer Anthropological Questions.
 
Organizer:
 
Prof. Winifred Creamer, Northern Illinois University
 
Annotation: This panel brings anthropological questions of space, community and ideology into focus by through the application of archaeological data. Spatial data have always been important to archaeologists from the identification of ancient monuments in the early days of the field, through settlement pattern studies, to the analysis of landscape that is becoming standard practice today. The application of spatial data to questions of community and ideology is more recent in archaeology, and displays the influence of  practice theory and cognitive science. In this panel, presenters discuss the intersection of archaeological data and its application to community and ideology
