Four Questions for Ethnographers Under Trumpian Authoritarianism

American Anthropologist, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This article examines evolving challenges and ethical dilemmas facing ethnographers working under intensifying authoritarianism in the United States. Because very little of what the United States is experiencing is new, my work here is primarily curatorial in nature, drawing upon the lessons offered by scholars across disciplines in the United

Burying Futures: Artisanal Mining Deaths and the Politics of Negligence in Zimbabwe

American Anthropologist, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT In the gold‐mining town of Kwekwe, central Zimbabwe, injury and death are a constant presence. Collapsing shafts, sudden explosions, gang fights, and neglected health infrastructure characterize the everyday lives of the town's impoverished residents.

Investigating relationships among strontium, barium, and seasonality in wild baboons

Archaeometry, EarlyView.
Abstract Geochemical profiles of Australopithecus africanus and baboon teeth show fluctuating trace elements, possibly reflecting seasonal diets. Here we use laser ablation–inductively coupled plasma–mass spectrometric measurements of calcium‐normalized strontium and barium ratios (Sr/Ca and Ba/Ca) and ion microprobe analyses of oxygen isotopes (δ18O ...

Trace Element Patterns in Juvenile Wild Chimpanzee Dentitions

Archaeometry, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Trace elements are used to infer mammalian early‐life diets, environmental toxins, dispersal patterns, stress histories, and weaning ages. Here, we employ laser ablation‐inductively coupled plasma‐mass spectrometry (LA‐ICP‐MS) to reveal elemental patterns in our closest living relatives, chimpanzees.
