Identity, Interpretation, and Innovation: The Worlds of Islamic Archaeology

Part of: Society for American Archaeology 86th Annual Meeting, Online (2021)

This collection contains the abstracts of the papers presented in the session entitled "Identity, Interpretation, and Innovation: The Worlds of Islamic Archaeology" at the 86th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology.

This session seeks to bring together Islamic archaeologists to discuss current research approaches, questions, and topics throughout the field. By addressing a large variety of topics and work, we aim not only to connect scholars working in seemingly disparate geographical areas and periods but also to deepen our perception of the nature of Islamic archaeology, and its potential for future research. We welcome papers that approach any aspect of Islamic archaeology from a variety of perspectives and methodologies.
