The book details for the first time all past archaeological work in
Antarctica, relating to both its use for conservation and research
purposes, drawing on published, unpublished and oral information.
This work has addressed historic and current scientific bases,
explorers' huts, whaling stations and sealing shelters. The ongoing
and long-term research on the sealing shelters and sites in the
South Shetland Islands features prominently. The archaeology
enables new perspectives on the impact of global modernity and
empire in the Antarctic, and challenges established dominant
discourses on the 'heroic' nature of human interaction with the
continent. The work on sealing sites gives voice to the experiences
of the sealer as a subaltern group previously largely overlooked by
historical sources. This book will appeal to students and
researchers in archaeology, history, and heritage as well as
readers interested in the human and historical aspects of
Antarctica's past and present.
