Unity in Diversity?: A Synthetic Approach to 21st-Century Historical Archaeology
Author(s): Audrey J Horning; Stephen Mrozowski
Year: 2019
Summary
This is an abstract from the "Exploring the Recent Past" session, at the 2019 annual meeting of the Society for Historical Archaeology.
Over the past two decades, the practice of historical archaeology has expanded not only geographically, but also thematically and methodologically. In this paper, we first reflect on the different trajectories of growth in the discipline in North America and Europe, considering in particular the role of nationalism and identity politics, as well as contrasting methodologies. From that base, we then consider the welcome expansion of the discipline beyond its EuroAmerican core, identifying key developments, new insights, and the manner in which these new historical archaeologies provide future directions for the whole of the discipline.
