Archaeologies of the Heart
Heart-centred practice aims to bring the whole person to the various forms of work people do. In archaeology, our Heart Collective, formed by Kisha Supernant, Natasha Lyons, Jane Baxter, and Sonya Atalay, is exploring how we can unite our minds, bodies, hearts and spirits in our disciplinary practices, care for the living and the dead, build reciprocal relationships with diverse communities, and develop integrated, inclusive, and still rigorous forms of archaeology. In 2020, we published ‘Archaeologies of the Heart’, to begin the conversation about this practice.
