DESCRIPTION:Lunch Club provides affiliates of the Stanford Archaeology Cent
 er with a community-oriented forum for engagement with current issues in a
 rchaeology. On January 15\, 2024 we will host Dr. Michelle A.  Lelièvre f
 rom William and Mary and Cynthia Martin.\n\nAbstract:\n\nAnthropologists c
 onducting collaborative fieldwork with members of Indigenous\, descendent\
 , and other local communities often do so with emancipatory objectives to 
 “decolonize” the discipline. These efforts have focused on methodology
 . But collaborative field projects also offer opportunities for developing
  anthropological theory through ethnographic analyses of how members of th
 ese teams encounter alterity. We use our excavation of a ~3600-year-old ar
 chaeological site in Nova Scotia\, Canada\, as a site for observing ethnog
 raphically how our L’nu (Mi’kmaw) and European-descended crew members 
 made empirical observations using the substantive epistemology of archaeol
 ogical knowledge production and\, simultaneously\, the relational ontology
  of L’nu knowledge production. At our field site\, the differences betwe
 en these two epistemologies were illustrated when an entity most archaeolo
 gists would categorize as a low-priority object was understood in the rela
 tional epistemology as a high-priority subject. Analyzing such moments of 
 knowledge construction provides opportunities for making the systemic chan
 ges required for decolonizing Anthropology.
