Mar 16 - Flannery 1999
Last reading homework!
Please answer two of the following three questions in a two part answer of 200 words each.
1. Develop an agency model for your region of interest based on the examples provided by the Bard, Joyce, Brumfiel, and/or Flannery articles. How would you accomplish this and support it with material evidence? Do you have more than iconographic imagery of people? The key is to link human volition with empirical, comparable archaeological evidence.
2. Are the elements of the agency critique discussed by Joyce in reference to Monte Albán consistent with those described as Agency by Flannery? Explain your answer.
3. Discuss two examples of objects and material evidence that were convincingly used by Flannery (1999) to support the link between the Process and Agency approaches that he develops in the article.
