GDAH Ep60 - Comparative Approaches to Political Complexity w/ Maxime Lamoureaux St. Hilaire

Go Dig a Hole

This episode features a discussion moderated by Maxime Lamoureux-St. Hilaire, who you’ll remember from episode 25, “Ancient Politics in the Present”. Max recently got his PhD, so congrats to him! This panel at the recent meeting of the Society for American Archaeology focused on comparative approaches to Maya Archaeology. The panel discusses complexity, and comparative approaches to understanding politics of the past – specifically in the Maya region, but this is a valuable approach for addressing complexity and politics of the past elsewhere. The discussants here were Arthur Demarest, Keith Eppick, Rachel Horowitz, Patricia McAnany, David Mixter, Luis Muro, Olivia Narro-Farr, Mat Saunders, Evan Parker, Whittaker Schroder, and Brent Woodfill This is a special episode recorded at the request of the panelists, and with the permission of the SAA. We at Go Dig a Hole are very grateful for the opportunity to present this discussion to a wider audience.
