It has been clear for many years that the ways in which archaeology
is practised have been a direct product of a particular set of
social, cultural, and historical circumstances - archaeology is
always carried out in the present. More recently, however, many
have begun to consider how archaeological techniques might be used
to reflect more directly on the contemporary world itself: how we
might undertake archaeologies of, as well as in the present. This
Handbook is the first comprehensive survey of an exciting and
rapidly expanding sub-field and provides an authoritative overview
of the newly emerging focus on the archaeology of the present and
recent past. In addition to detailed archaeological case studies,
it includes essays by scholars working on the relationships of
different disciplines to the archaeology of the contemporary world,
including anthropology, psychology, philosophy, historical
geography, science and technology studies, communications and
media, ethnoarchaeology, forensic archaeology, sociology, film,
performance, and contemporary art. This volume seeks to explore the
boundaries of an emerging sub-discipline, to develop a tool-kit of
concepts and methods which are applicable to this new field, and to
suggest important future trajectories for research. It makes a
significant intervention by drawing together scholars working on a
broad range of themes, approaches, methods, and case studies from
diverse contexts in different parts of the world, which have not
previously been considered collectively.
