The article looks at archaeologist Eudald Carbonell, with a particular focus on the different scientific, social, and political roles he has played during his career. The author discusses Carbonell's self-identification as a member of a peripheral scientific community. It is suggested that Carbonell's career illustrates the medialization and commodification of science and scientists. Details on his role as the co-director of the Atapuerca hominid site in Northern Spain are presented. Other topics include scientific colonialism, communism, and Carbonell's views on Spanish politics. |
