- Archaeology and Photography demonstrates how images, when we take the time to work with them archaeologically, transform our understanding of time, movement, and the messy complexity of material worlds. It developed from two sessions convened by McFadyen and Hicks - first at the Royal Anthropological Institute’s conference on Anthropology and Photography at the British Museum in May 2014, and then at the European Association of Archaeologists annual conference in Glasgow in September 2015. Firstly, taking a critical and cross-disciplinary approach, they selected pre-circulated papers from anthropologists, artists and archaeologists, and used the second conference, with an explicitly archaeological focus, to develop the papers for further revision. Together, they secured an agreement from the editors of Bloomsbury to consider publication subject to peer-reviewing. At the editorial level, McFadyen co-ordinated the authors’ responses to the peer-reviewers’ reports and shared other editorial tasks with Hicks, with the exception of the index which she compiled. McFadyen and Hicks co-wrote the main text of introduction. In addition, McFadyen wrote the section that speaks to the actual photographs used in each of the chapters. McFadyen and Knight co-wrote a chapter based on duration and movement in photography and its presence in archaeological evidence. We are asking for McFadyen’s chapter (5300 words) and introduction (7900 Words) to be assessed alongside her notable overall editorial work.
