    • Ambiguous Matter: The Life of Mine Waste 

      Venovcevs, Anatolijs (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2022-09-20)
      This paper explores mine waste that originates from resource extraction by specifically focusing on waste rock, tailings, dust and material culture from the resource extraction industry. By drawing on examples from fieldwork, archives, local media commentary and limited interviews from two iron-mining regions in Arctic Norway and sub-Arctic Canada, this paper follows mine waste as it routinely ...

    • A contemporary archaeology of pandemic 

      Magnani, Matthew Walker; Magnani, Natalia; Venovcevs, Anatolijs; Farstadvoll, Stein (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2021-10-19)
      Global crises drastically alter human behavior, rapidly impacting patterns of movement and consumption. A rapid-response analysis of material culture brings new perspective to disasters as they unfold. We present a case study of the coronavirus pandemic in Tromsø, Norway, based on fieldwork from March 2020 to April 2021. Using a methodology rooted in social distancing and through systematic, diachronic, ...

    • Extracted Frontiers: A Call from the North 

      Venovcevs, Anatolijs (Chapter; Bokkapittel, 2020)
      From microchips to smartphones to electric cars, humanity’s dreams of techno-salvation are built on the crude materiality of extracted metals and minerals. This extraction conveniently avoids large population centres in affluent Western democracies and instead clusters around the world’s social peripheries. This slam poem, first presented as a spoken performance at the 8th Winter School of the ...

    • Geospatial Data on Parade: The Results and Implications of GIS Analysis of Remote Sensing and Archaeological Excavation Data at Fort York’s Central Parade Ground 

      Venovcevs, Anatolijs; Williams, Blake; Dunlop, John; Kellogg, Daniel (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2015)
      This article presents a case study on the application of geographical information systems (GIS) in the context of military archaeology at the Fort York National Historic Site (AjGu-26) in Toronto, Ontario. By employing GIS to amalgamate data from historic mapping, ground penetrating radar, LiDAR, and 30 years of archaeological investigation, the authors reconstruct the historic landscape at the ...

    • How to Record Current Events like an Archaeologist 

      Magnani, Matthew Walker; Venovcevs, Anatolijs; Farstadvoll, Stein; Magnani, Natalia (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2021-10-15)
      This article shows how to record current events from an archaeological perspective. With a case study from the COVID-19 pandemic in Norway, we provide accessible tools to document broad spatial and behavioral patterns through material culture as they emerge. Stressing the importance of ethical engagement with contemporary subjects, we adapt archaeological field methods—including geolocation, ...

    • Industrial Vestiges: Legacies of Ancillary Impacts of Resource Development 

      Venovcevs, Anatolijs (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2023-06-12)
      This article offers a different way to understand the heritage of extractive industries by exploring the material afterlives of what has been termed the “ancillary impacts of resource development”—a variety of quarries, forest cuts, transportation corridors, and power lines that surround industrial operations, especially those created in areas distant from established industrial population centers. ...

    • Living with Heritage: Involuntary Entanglements of the Anthropocene – An Introduction 

      Venovcevs, Anatolijs; Bangstad, Torgeir Rinke (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2022-09-20)
      Heritage has come to be understood as a set of valued objects, landscapes and prac-tices to be preserved and maintained for the benefit of present and future generations (Harrison 2020, 20–31). In recent years, commitments to safeguard and care for heritage have proliferated, fuelled by perceptions of threat that urge caretakers to act before it is too late (Holtorf 2015; DeSilvey and Harrison 2020). ...

    • Living with socialism: Toward an archaeology of a post-soviet industrial town 

      Venovcevs, Anatolijs (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel, 2020-11-08)
      While the Soviet Union collapsed in 1991, it left a heavy legacy in the form of industrial towns, residential buildings, infrastructure networks, and ecological damage that extends the Soviet Union’s effective history into the present day. This paper explores this legacy through the perspective of contemporary archaeology to better understand how material culture from the Soviet period is being ...

    • Twin Falls Soil Analysis and Drone Imagery Updates 

      Juhl, Fink Raymond; Bakke, Steffen Tjøtta; Arntzen, Johan Eilertsen; Williamson, James; Venovcevs, Anatolijs (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2023)
      In 2021, Anatolijs Venovcevs and James Williamson conducted a one-week survey at the mothballed hydroelectric plant and associated community at Twin Falls, Labrador (Venovcevs and Williamson 2022) (Figure 1). The fieldwork provided detailed documentation on the industrial and settlement areas of the site through a UAV survey and surface documentation of visible remains while producing promising ...

    • Vestiges of a Previous Industrial Age: A Contemporary Archaeology of Twentieth Century Single Industrial Mining Regions in the Far North 

      Venovcevs, Anatolijs (Doctoral thesis; Doktorgradsavhandling, 2023-09-15)
      <p>This thesis aims to develop archaeological understandings of mining communities and sites in three (sub-)Arctic regions in Norway (Sør-Varanger), Canada (western Labrador), and Russia (Kola Peninsula), all of which underwent rapid industrial colonisation during the twentieth century. Today the regions continue as resource peripheries despite economic, social, and political changes that made the ...
