Yet their perspectives have often been missing from the new knowledge that is produced through archaeological research. Mickel's new book, based on six years of ethnographic and archival research, describes how archaeological laborers negotiate these conditions in research projects in Jordan and Turkey. Her research not only sheds new light on the history and politics of archaeology, but also illuminates pressing issues surrounding labor and economics in the Middle East.
