“I’m Not Saying It Was Aliens”: An Archaeological and Philosophical Analysis of a Conspiracy Theory

Turner, Derek D.; Turner, Michelle I.

Pages: 7 –24

[This chapter draws upon the archaeological and philosophical literature to offer an analysis and diagnosis of the popular ‘ancient aliens’ theory. First, we argue that ancient aliens theory is a form of conspiracy theory. Second, we argue that it differs from other familiar conspiracy theories...

Mortar and Pestle or Cooking Vessel? When Archaeology Makes Progress Through Failed Analogies

Nyrup, Rune

Pages: 25 –46

[Most optimistic accounts of analogies in archaeology focus on cases where analogies lead to accurate or well-supported interpretations of the past.

Scaffolding and Concept-Metaphors: Building Archaeological Knowledge in Practice

Routledge, Bruce

The Archaeology and Philosophy of Health: Navigating the New Normal Problem

Brusse, Carl

Pages: 101 –122

Embodied and Extended Numerical Cognition

Johnson, Marilynn; Everett, Caleb

Pages: 125 –148

[In this chapter we consider the theories of embodied cognition and extended mind with respect to the human ability to engage in numerical cognition. Such an enquiry requires first distinguishing between our innate number sense and the sort of numerical reasoning that is unique to humans. We...

Late Pleistocene Dual Process Minds

Clarke, Murray

Pages: 149 –169

[The global dispersal of prehistoric ancient humans from Africa to North America, and the existence of artistic innovation evidenced in the Late Pleistocene are, by now, parts of a familiar and fascinating story. But the explanation of how our human career was possible cries out for...

Theory of Mind, System-2 Thinking, and the Origins of Language

Planer, Ronald J.

Pages: 171 –195

[There is growing acceptance among language evolution researchers that an increase in our ancestors’ theory of mind capacities was critical to the origins of language. However, little attention has been paid to the question of how those capacities were in fact upgraded. This article develops a...
