The Archaeology of Burning Man: The Rise and Fall of Black Rock City

4.9/5 (19037 ratings)

Description:Each August staff and volunteers begin to construct Black Rock City, a temporary city located in the hostile and haunting Black Rock Desert of northwestern Nevada. 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 archaeological methods to analyze the various aspects of life and community in and around Burning Man and Black Rock City. With a syncretic approach, 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.ACCLAIM“It’s an involved participant observation that guides readers to, through, and around the Burning Man community. It’s also an engaging and fascinating read that will interest archaeologists, anthropologists, historians, Burners (those who attend Burning Man), and fans of the annual attraction.”—Kathleen L. Sheppard, Nevada Historical Society QuarterlyABOUT THE AUTHORCarolyn L.
