Abstract
Using the Paleolithic in Jordan as an example, we review aspects of international, multidisciplinary collaboration that can lead to areas of conflict between foreign and indigenous archaeologists. We begin with some observations on the logic of inference to underscore problems arising from differences in the intellectual traditions involved in this research. This excursion into epistemology (how we know what we think we know about the past) is followed by an analysis of the practical considerations that can create difficulties in various aspects of the research process, from proposal writing through final publication. We conclude with suggestions to alleviate these problems and discuss where to situate paleoarchaeology within the larger context of transnational collaboration.
