New Directions in Historical Archaeology: Theory, Method, and Practice
Part of: Society for American Archaeology 80th Annual Meeting, San Francisco, CA (2015)
One of the strengths of historical archaeology is its inherent interdisciplinarity. As a result of its multidisciplinary nature, historical archaeology is quick to adapt cutting edge social theory hand-in-hand with methodologies from the environmental and geosciences while maintaining a political and intellectual commitment to collaboration with descendant communities. These synergies result is more holistic archaeological interpretation. The papers in this session, demonstrate how historical archaeology with its interdisciplinary nature and close ties to modern communities is ideally suited to developing collaborative projects that integrate a diverse array of disciplines and perspectives.
