Every September nearly seventy thousand people occupy the city for Burning Man, an event that creates the sixth largest population center in Nevada. By mid-September the infrastructure that supported the community is fully dismantled, and by October the land on which the city lay is scrubbed of evidence of its existence. The Archaeology of Burning Man examines this process of building, occupation, and destruction. For nearly a decade Carolyn L. White has employed archeological methods-including mapping, surveying, photographing, interviewing, and participant observation--to analyze the various aspects of life and community in and around Burning Man and Black Rock City. With a syncretic approach that draws on scholarship in archaeology, cultural anthropology, geography, and philosophy, this work in active site archaeology provides both a theoretical basis and a practical demonstration of the potential of this new field to reexamine the most fundamental conceptions in the social sciences"-- $c Provided by publisher. 504 $a Includes bibliographical references and index. 505 0 $a Black Rock City : a description of the world -- Thinking the world : social space, the accursed share, and meshworks -- The rise of the city -- Infrastructure at Burning Man -- Households at Burning Man -- Theme camps -- Village life -- The fall of the city -- Epilogue : the active site of Black Rock City. 611 20 $a Burning Man (Festival) 611 27 $a Burning Man (Festival) $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01409116 650 0 $a Archaeology $x Fieldwork $z Black Rock Desert. $z Black Rock Desert. 650 0 $a Human settlements $z Black Rock Desert. $z Black Rock Desert. 650 7 $a Archaeology $x Fieldwork. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01941257 650 7 $a Human settlements. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00963433 651 7 $a Nevada $z Black Rock Desert. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01256822 776 08 $i Online version: $a White, Carolyn L., 1969- $t The archaeology of Burning Man $d Albuquerque : University of New Mexico Press, 2020. $z 9780826361349 $w (DLC) 2019037189 830 0 $a Archaeologies of landscape in the Americas series 941 $a 1 952 $l USUX851 $d 20200702013829.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=6DDF2408BC2911EAAC3CDF0297128E48 994 $a 92 $b IWAInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
