Recovering Ancestors in Anthropological Traditions, volume 15 of the Histories of Anthropology Annual, focuses on themes of individual scholars and national developments, with each specific case building toward an understanding of an international discipline. Similar to the cultures that anthropologists study, anthropology’s four-field discipline contains myriad practices, theories, and methodologies that are often divergent, contradictory, and associated with nationally based schools of thought, contributing to a vital and diverse global discipline. This volume emphasizes the challenges international scholars face as they engage both local and global movements. Several European traditions are represented, including two chapters adding to the body of work on Portugal from previous volumes in the series. North American traditions are well represented, including a collection of works on Nancy Lurie. Also included is an important examination of the collection of human skeletal remains in Argentina, presented in English for the first time. Readers will find both new information and new ways of understanding this complex history.
