01 Jan 1997-
TL;DR: Sian Jones as mentioned in this paper argues for a fundamentally different view of ethnicity, as a complex dynamic form of identification, requiring radical changes in archaeological analysis and interpretation, and presents a comprehensive and critical synthesis of recent theories of ethnicity in the human sciences.
Abstract: The question of ethnicity is highly controversial in contemporary archaeology. Indigenous and nationalist claims to territory, often rely on reconstructions of the past based on the traditional identification of 'cultures' from archaeological remains. Sian Jones responds to the need for a reassessment of the ways in which social groups are identified in the archaeological record, with a comprehensive and critical synthesis of recent theories of ethnicity in the human sciences. In doing so, she argues for a fundamentally different view of ethnicity, as a complex dynamic form of identification, requiring radical changes in archaeological analysis and interpretation.

Abstract: Resumo: Este artigo tem por proposito analisar a retorica antijudaica em textos cristaos dos seculos I e II d. C. suscitada nao por ataques de judeus a fe crista, mas, diferentemente, pela repetida presenca de cristaos judaizantes (que adotam regras da lei de Moises nao mais seguidas pela maioria dos cristaos). Tal retorica auxilia na construcao de fronteiras entre cristaos e judeus e, nesse sentido, na elaboracao de uma identidade crista que deve ser distanciada do universo de costumes e praticas judaicos.
