According to Tarlow, emotions that are biological in origin, shared across culture, and recognizable by universally shared facial expressions
Basic or key emotions
According to Lindstrom, the things that fascinate us most in archaeological findings
Depictions of human faces and bodies (various materials including painting, sculpture, vase-paintings, textile, wood, stone, metal)
According to Lindstrom, this is the foci of experimental archeology.
material processes and social/emotional experiences related to said processes.
According to Tarlow, what two concepts are at opposing ends when arranging approaches on a spectrum?
psychological and constructivist
Ruth Tringham and Yannis Hamilakis
According to Skeates’s article, Sensorium is common to this concept from James Gibson.
Affordances
Some of the common characteristics of the 21 figures depicted in the paintings in Lindstrom's article.
mostly young people with slim and athletic bodies, naked males with simple jewelry, but women in colorful clothing or veils and elaborate jewelry, particularly large earrings, with vague facial expressions
Although media archaeology is different from disciplinary archaeology, what has encouraged “cross-pollination of methods and ideas, according to Caraher?
a shared interest in media, technology, and the “material manifestations of culture.”
According to Lindstrom, why has psychology become increasingly relevant within archaeology
The turn toward exploring social behaviors and systems, beliefs, gender roles, and attitudes, though it is still considered out of the box
Hamilakis has this kind of pet named this.
cat, Sardella
According to Tarlow, the varying levels of difficulty with which archaeologists can know about aspects of past life, posited by Hawkes in 1954, with aspects like technology on the lower levels and belief and feeling at the top
Ladder of Interference
This is one of the four ways in which sensory archeology contributes to the field, according to the Skeates article.
“Highlight biases, limitations, and gaps in established scientific methods, interpretations, forms of writing, and illustration.”
“Bring together and extend recent scholarly thought on the body, phenomenology, memory, emotion, and the senses.”
“Encourage us to produce new, full-bodied narratives of past people and their material remains”
“Direct us to pay closer attention to the sensory properties, practices, experiences, and perceptions inherent in a range of archeologically visible human behaviors.”
Linstrom learned this from her evaluation of the pictures at Thera.
They were probably not meant to be portraits, but official icons, possibly from and within a religious context. They probably do not express specific attributes of particular persons, but the more general attributes associated with the roles of such persons. In short, they display their idealized selves according to the collective values of their culture.
According to Tarlow, what is at the psychological end of the spectrum when considering approaches?
approaches that understand emotion as a bodily agitation: emotion is located in the brain, through the actions of hormones, and is shared by modern humans as a biological function
Tringham is known for her use of this framework.
feminist archeology
The definition of Sensory Model according to Skeates is this.
A collection of “sensory meanings, values, and hierarchies– according to which that Society translate sensory perceptions and concepts into a worldview”
In chapter 2 of Archeology and the senses, Hamilakis draws a strong connection between the colonialism and other forms of enforced power and this.
control/the policing of the senses --especially smell
This is Raiford Guins' argument on how cardboard packages of games contribute to the game experience in Caraher’s chapter.
Guins argues that to understand the experience of video games, we must inhabit the intersection of the physical media and the digital experience of the gameplay.
According to Lindstrom, how does psychology ‘literally’ come into the picture?
The Facial Action Coding System, based on the human facial musculature and used in research in many fields
These key concepts from Hamilakis play an important role in this Week's readings.
Senses and affect
This is what Hamilakis means in Chapter 1 of Archeology and the Senses when he says that the book is ‘post-theoretical.’
“it advocates the celebration of the concrete and empirical, and of multi-sensorial modes of being-in and attending to the world.”
This contributed to the Grande Ballroom’s distinctive acoustic character by absorbing sounds and reducing echoes

These physical indicators as outlined in Chapter 4 of Caraher's The Archaeology of Contemporary America helped to reveal hoe DJs created their iconic performance sets.
Alterations to lables, wear patterns on album sleeves, and more.
In chapter 5 of Archeology and the Senses, Hamilakis discusses the sensory aspect of funeral rites and ceremonies in second millennium BC Crete and the impact of possible psychoactive substances used in these rites. The effect of eating, drinking, and becoming intoxicated as a group would have had this psychological effect.
Strengthening the bonds between individuals involved, including the deceased individual.
