Walling in and Walling Out

The contributors to this volume illuminate the roles and uses of walls around the world--in contexts ranging from historic neighborhoods to contemporary national borders.

Laura McAtackney is an associate professor in the Department of Archaeology and Heritage Studies at Aarhus University in Denmark. She explores the historical and contemporary archaeologies of institutions and colonialism (often together) and the material world of post-conflict Northern Ireland.

Randall H. McGuire is a SUNY Distinguished Professor at Binghamton University in Binghamton, New York. His research focuses on the anthropology and archaeology of the Sonoran Desert in Arizona, the Mexican state of Sonora, and the border that divides these two states.
