In this book the concept of mobility is explored for the
archaeology of the Amazonian and Caribbean region.
As a result of technological and methodological
progress in archaeology, mobility has become
increasingly visible on the level of the individual.
However, as a concept it does not seem to fit with
current approaches in Amazonian archaeology, which
favour a move away from viewing small mobile
groups as models for the deeper past. Instead of
ignoring such ethnographic tyrannies, in this book
they are considered to be essential for arriving at a
different past.

The story of ethnographic collecting is one of crosscultural
encounters. This book focuses on collecting
encounters in the Kamoro region of Papua from the
earliest collections made in 1828 until 2011. Exploring
the links between representation and collecting, the
author focuses on the creative and pragmatic agency
of Kamoro people in these collecting encounters. By
considering objects as visualizations of social relations,
and as enactments of personal, social or historical
narrative, this book combines filling a gap in the literature
on Kamoro culture with an interest in broader questions
that surround the nature of ethnographic collecting,
representation, patronage and objectification.
