A Brief Note on Archaeology and Salmon
It is that time of the year again: another wave of Tables of Contents in my inbox. I subscribe to content alerting for a variety of archaeology journals and I’m always fascinated by the variety within the archaeological community today in terms of their ‘humanism’. Thus the same article published in different journals would be:
Journal of Archaeological Science: Use of Strontium Isotopes Reveals Extreme Salmon Specialization At Prince Rupert Island, British Columbia
Journal of Anthropological Archaeology: Do You Never Get Tired of Samon? Evidence For Extreme Salmon Specialization At Prince Rupert Island, British Columbia
Archaeological Dialogues: Salmon and Agency
Just saying.

Funny, and the worse crime is having about 10 too many words in a title. Save it for the abstract, Mr/s Poet.

Its a parlor game. I guess it could also be played with particular scholars rather than journals.
In the Plains Anthropologist: A Salmon Kill Site on Prince Rupert Island, British Columbia
In Southeastern Archaeology: Salmon Processing as Pathway to Chiefdom Formation: The View from Prince Rupert Island, British Columbia
In Current Anthropology: Tool Use, Cognition, and Provisioning: Modeling Salmon Technologies on Prince Rupert Island and in the Pre-capitalist World System
In Pre-1970 Journal of American Folklore: Salmon Jokes from Prince Rupert Island.
In Post-1970 Journal of American Folklore: Differential Identity and Negotiated Performance in Everyday Life: The Narrative Construction of Salmon and Salmon Industry Laborers on Prince Rupert Island
In Journal of Linguistic Anthropology: Language Ideologies and Indexicality
In Public Culture: Salmonitality

This is fun.
