Resumo/Abstract: 

In this talk, I will discuss some experiences and thoughts on the archaeology of the Iberian Peninsula from the perspective of both an ‘outsider’, a non-Portuguese/-Spanish citizen who was trained in anthropological archaeology in the US, and as an insider who has conducted fieldwork or research in Portugal and Spain for over 40 years. 
I will also explore some themes and insights gained in writing my recent book Archaeology of the Iberian Peninsula: From the Paleolithic to the Bronze Age (Cambridge University Press, 2019). Finally, I will invite some discussion about the role of ‘outsiders’ on the practice of archaeology in Portugal and Spain. Specificially, what should be the role of such ‘outsiders’, and what makes an ‘outsider’ an ‘outsider’?


Bio:


Katina Lillios is Professor (and Chair) in the Department of Anthropology at the University of Iowa. She is an anthropological archaeologist interested in the ways people used material culture, the remains of the dead, and monuments to create, enhance, and challenge sociopolitical difference and inequality. She is also intrigued by the ways that the material past (or how we imagine that past) intersect with contemporary life. Her research has concentrated on the histories of the people who lived in Portugal and Spain from the Neolithic through the Bronze Age (4000-1000 BCE). Most recently, she authored the book Archaeology of the Iberian Peninsula: From the Paleolithic to the Bronze Age (Cambridge University Press, 2019).
