the production of this volume coincided with the pandemic of the early 2020s. For many contributors, access to libraries, time to develop thinking, and positive space to complete writing was severely diminished. Caring responsibilities, personal losses, and the anxiety of uncertain situations all took their toll. For all of these reasons I would like to extend my appreciation for everyones efforts that have been involved at any stage in this volume, whether published here or not.

The chapter on dis/Ability and archaeology was originally to be authored by Theresa OMahony, founder of Enabled Archaeology, but she sadly passed away before she was able to develop her chapter. Nevertheless, the legacy of her activism and scholarship are fully evident in , and I am grateful to Abigail Hunt and Thomas Kitchen for taking her work forward, and to Erik DeScathebury and Sarah OMahony for their support.

In the development of the book I am grateful to several colleagues for their advice, including Manuel Arroyo-Kalin, John Baines, Megan Gooch, Sudeshna Guha, Koji Mizoguchi, Christina Riggs, Suzie Thomas, and Kevin Macdonald. In helping with some of the more complex referencing in the volume I would like to thank Paige Brevick and Yijie Zhuang. Finally, I would like to thank OUPs Charlotte Loveridge, Jenny King, and Karen Raith for their assistance throughout production.

Jilda Andrews is an Indigenous cultural practitioner and museum anthropologist based in Canberra, Australia. Currently a Research Fellow with the Australian National University and the National Museum of Australia, Jilda draws from her Yuwaalaraay heritage to investigate networks of relationships in museum collections. Her approach pushes the definition of custodianship in museums, from one which is focused on maintaining collections, to one which strives to recognize connections between objects and the systems which produce them. Recent publications include String ecologies: Indigenous country and pastoral empires in Ancestors, Artefacts, Empire: Indigenous Australia in British and Irish museums (British Museum Press, 2021).

Marcia Bezerra is a professor at the Universidade Federal do Par, in the Amazon, where she teaches archaeology to the Undergraduate Program in Museology/FAV/ICA and the MA/DSc Program in Anthropology/PPGA. She holds a BA in Archaeology (FINES/RJ), MA in Ancient and Medieval History (UFRJ), and DSc in Archaeology (USP). She is the former president (20132016) of the Society of Brazilian Archaeology (SAB) and Southern America Representative of the World Archaeological Congress/WAC (20082016). She has conducted research in the Brazilian Amazon since 2008. Her interests include material culture studies, collecting practices, ethnography of heritage, Amazonian archaeology, archaeological representations, museum archaeology, heritage education, and the teaching of archaeology.

Gail Boyle has been a successful museum archaeologist for more than 30 years. As Chair of the Society for Museum Archaeology (20122018) she developed and directed its strategic role at a national level as well as co-authoring guidance on best practice. She is a Fellow of the Museums Association and a Treasure Valuation Committee member: she sits on several national advisory boards, including the Portable Antiquities Advisory Group and Historic Englands Archaeological Archives Advisory Panel, and is also Vice-Chair of Bristol and Gloucestershire Archaeological Society Council and Fellow of the Society of Antiquaries of London. She has long-standing collaborative and teaching relationships with both the University of Bristol and the University of the West of England.
