Post-Processual approaches to meanings and uses of material culture in historical Archaeology
Historical Archaeology, 1992Co-Authors: Paul A Shackel, Barbara J LittleAbstract:Discussions of post-processual Archaeology are summarized in order to suggest that historical Archaeology is in a particularly good position to answer the post-processual critiques of the “new” Archaeology and to create a contextual Archaeology that is both historically and anthropologically informed and relevant. The work of four scholars is noted as particularly influential in the development of post-processual approaches.

Archaeology, Heritage, and Social Value : Public Perspectives on European Archaeology
European Journal of Archaeology, 2017Co-Authors: Kornelia Kajda, Amala Marx, Holly Wright, Julian D. Richards, Arkadiusz Marciniak, Kai Salas Rossenbach, Michał Pawleta, Monique H. Van Den Dries, K.h.j. Boom, Maria Pia GuermandiAbstract:This article presents the key results of a major survey carried out by the NEARCH project on the public perception of Archaeology and heritage across Europe. The analysis focuses on three main points of significance for contemporary archaeological practice. The first is the image of Archaeology and its definition in the perception of the general public. The second concerns the values that Archaeology represents for the public. The third focuses on the social expectations placed on archaeologists and Archaeology. The NEARCH survey clearly indicates that there is a significant public expectation by Europeans that Archaeology should work comprehensively across a broad range of areas, and that cultural heritage management in general needs to engage more with different archaeological and heritage groups.

Archaeology and archaeological science: past, present and future
Archaeologia Polona, 2001Co-Authors: Arkadiusz Marciniak, Wlodzimierz RaczkowskiAbstract:The paper gives a general overview of the major aspects of relations between Archaeology and archaeological science. It sketches a history of application of scientific techniques and methods in prehistoric Archaeology since the end of the nineteenth century. More specifically, it discusses impact of processual Archaeology on the dynamic development of archaeological science. The paper further discusses current relations between Archaeology and archaeological science, especially in the light of issues advocated by postprocessual critique. It concludes by formulation a proposal to include the results of archaeological science into the main body of archaeological theory.

surface assemblages towards an Archaeology in and of the present
Archaeological Dialogues, 2011Co-Authors: Rodney HarrisonAbstract:This paper explores a central paradox in the aims of the Archaeology of the contemporary past as they have been articulated by its practitioners. On the one hand, its aim has been expressed as one of making the familiar ‘unfamiliar’, of distancing the observer from their own material world; a work of alienation . On the other hand, it has also aimed to make the past more accessible and egalitarian; to recover lost, subaltern voices and in this way to close the distance between past and present. I suggest that this paradox has stymied its development and promoted a culture of self-justification for a subfield which has already become well established within Archaeology over the course of three decades. I argue that this paradox arises from Archaeology's relationship with modernity and the past itself, as a result of its investment in the modernist trope of Archaeology-as-excavation and the idea of a past which is buried and hidden. One way of overcoming this paradox would be to emphasize an alternative trope of Archaeology-as-surface-survey and a process of assembling/reassembling, and indeed to shift away from the idea of an ‘Archaeology of the contemporary past’ to speak instead of an Archaeology ‘in and of the present’. This would reorient Archaeology so that it is seen primarily as a creative engagement with the present and only subsequently as a consideration of the intervention of traces of the past within it. It is only by doing this that Archaeology will develop into a discipline which can successfully address itself to the present and future concerns of contemporary societies. Such a move not only has implications for archaeologies of the present and recent past, but concerns the very nature and practice of Archaeology as a discipline in its broadest sense in the 21st century.

Inessential archaeologies: problems of exclusion in Americanist archaeological thought
World Archaeology, 2005Co-Authors: Laurie A. WilkieAbstract:This paper will present an intellectual history of Americanist historical Archaeology as it developed from the 1960s onwards within the context of processual Archaeology and the resulting marginalization of studies of the recent past within Americanist Archaeology. The paper will explore the intellectual problems and miss-steps caused by the artificial prehistory/history dichotomy prevalent in American Archaeology. While many ‘prehistorians’ see historical archaeologies as inessential to their research, I will discuss contributions historical Archaeology has made to the discipline, and the potential contributions of the sub-discipline more broadly to archaeological interpretation (or an archaeological historiography).
