Eschewing the Apocalyptic: Recent Research on the Aftermath of “Collapse” in Archaeology Across the Americas

For 40 years, political collapse has been increasingly prominent in anthropological archaeology. Throughout that period, scholars have grappled with defining collapse and asked why sociopolitical systems fragment. In this article, I explore emerging research on the aftermath of collapse. Focusing on the Americas, I consider the development of theoretical models and expanding analytical scope. Highlighting key themes, I propose that although cross-cultural archaeological data do negate narratives of apocalypse and disappearance, an overemphasis on post-collapse continuity also obscures the heterogeneity and dynamism of post-collapse periods and the creativity and resilience of populations who live through them.

避开世界末日:美洲考古学“崩溃”后果的最新研究

40年来,政治崩溃在人类学考古学中日益凸显。在那段时期,学者们一直在努力解决崩溃的定义,并询问社会政治系统为何会分裂。在本文中,我探讨了有关崩溃后果的新兴研究。以美洲为重点,我考虑理论模型的发展和分析范围的扩大。在强调关键主题时,我认为,尽管跨文化考古数据确实否定了关于世界末日和消失的叙述,但过分强调崩溃后的连续性也掩盖了崩溃后时期的异质性和活力,以及生活在这些时期的人们的创造力和复原力。 。
